Forth v4.4 Function Glossary
This document provides a glossary of the functions (called "Words" in QED-Forth) in the Forth firmware library available in V4.4x Forth for the QED Board. QED-Forth is both a programming language and a real-time embedded operating system.
Software development in Forth uses the Mosaic IDE Integrated Development Environment; this is the same IDE used for software development in C. While Forth programmers will not use the IDE's C compiler, the IDE provides a full-featured text editor and customized terminal for rapid Forth code downloads and interactive Forth debugging sessions with the 68HC11 processor on the controller board.
For help in understanding the notation used in the following function definitions, consult the description of stack symbols, abbreviations and naming conventions.
This glossary provides detailed definitions for the general purpose words (Forth functions) available in the v4.4 Forth kernel. Separate glossaries define the assembler and C debugging words available. A separate page lists all the Forth V4.4 Functions that Disable Interrupts.
This glossary is split into three web pages, for words in ASCII (alphabetical) order. Forth words are not case sensitive. You can click on the links in the first column of the following table to be taken directly to the glossary pages containing words starting with the desired character.
