You've got it all wrong. In Linux, it would be something like:

[user@linux]$ ./check-hardware
check-hardware: Device 0x378 returned status code 0x71 with parameter 0x26f.
Segmentation Fault.

[user@linux]$

Wherein 0x378 = Base Address for "LPT1", 0x71 is the "Fire Alarm" Status, and 0x26f is the Hex representation of 623 degrees. Which is given in Kelvin and must finally be converted back to Ferinheit.
