;   REV
;---------------

; REV is a filter that reverses all lines of standard input, and sends
;   the reversed lines to standard output.

DATA SEGMENT
  ORG 02000         ; small model-- start data well beyond this program
OBUFF:              ; output buffer
  DB 02000 DUP (?)
OBUFF_LIM:          ; limit signalling we are near the end of the output buffer
  DB 0100 DUP (?)
DATA ENDS

REV:
  MOV BP,OBUFF         ; initialize the output buffer to empty
  CALL VERIFY_NO_ARGS  ; verify that there were no arugments in the command tail
  CALL PROCESS_INPUT   ; reverse all the line of standard input
  CALL FLUSH_OUTPUT    ; flush the output buffer
  JMP GOOD_EXIT        ; success-- exit back to the operating system


; VERIFY_NO_ARGS insures that there are no command-tail arguments at the
;   PSP buffer DS:080.  If there are, we abort with USAGE_MSG.

VERIFY_NO_ARGS:
  MOV SI,080           ; point to the PSP command-tail
  LODSB                ; fetch the length byte
  CBW                  ; extend length AL into AX
  XCHG CX,AX           ; swap the command tail length into CX
  JCXZ RET             ; good return if there is no tail whatsoever
L1:                    ; loop here for each byte of the command tail
  LODSB                ; fetch a command-tail byte
  CMP AL,' '           ; it had better be a blank or a control character
  IF A JMP USAGE_EXIT  ; error exit if command tail has non-blank contents
  LOOP L1              ; loop for the next command-tail byte
  RET

USAGE_MSG:
  DB 'usage: rev <in >out',0D,0A
USAGE_SIZE EQU $ - USAGE_MSG


; PROCESS_LINE reverses the line of CX bytes pointed to by SI (and beyond by
;   DI), and copies the reversed line to the output buffer.

PROCESS_LINE:
  DEC DI               ; decrement beyond-pointer back to linefeed
  CMP B[DI-1],0D       ; is there also a CR terminating this line?
  IF E DEC DI          ; if yes then decrment back to the CR, also
  CALL REV_STRING      ; reverse the characters of the line
  MOV DI,BP            ; fetch the output buffer pointer
  REP MOVSB            ; copy the reversed line to the output buffer
  MOV BP,DI            ; store the updated output buffer pointer
  CMP BP,OBUFF_LIM     ; is the output buffer almost full?
  JB RET               ; return if not
FLUSH_OUTPUT:
  PUSH AX,BX,CX,DX     ; preserve registers across call
  MOV DX,OBUFF         ; point to the start of the output buffer
  MOV CX,BP            ; point CX beyond the bytes we have placed in buffer
  SUB CX,DX            ; calculate the number of bytes in the buffer
  MOV BP,DX            ; reset the output pointer back to the buffer start
  MOV BX,1             ; file handle for standard output is 1
  CALL MWRITE          ; write the buffered bytes to standard output
  POP DX,CX,BX,AX      ; restore clobbered registers
  RET


; REV_STRING reverses the string running from DS:SI through DS:DI-1.  We do so
;    by repeatedly exchanging the bytes pointed to by each pointer, then moving
;    the pointers in towards each other, until they meet.

REV_STRING:
  CMP SI,DI
  JE RET
  PUSH SI,DI        ; save registers across call
L1:                 ; loop here for each pair of bytes
  LODSB             ; fetch the SI-pointed byte
  DEC DI            ; decrement DI to the last byte of the remaining string
  XCHG AL,[DI]      ; exchange the SI-pointed byte with the DI-pointed byte
  MOV [SI-1],AL     ; store the DI-pointed byte in the SI-pointed spot
  CMP SI,DI         ; have SI and DI come together yet?
  JB L1             ; loop if not to swap two more end-bytes
  POP DI,SI         ; restore clobbered registers
  RET               ; NoCarry set for disassembler MEMDIS_n's benefit
