An API that allows me to set the DUCT TRAP fields (go here on a TRAP event occurring, use this area for TRAP-time information, set/retrieve the TRAP user words, etc.) and at the specified TRAP-handling address access the TRAP-generated area(s) when a TRAP or trapped condition occurs and decide what to do about it.
Using ESPIEX to detect the TRAP code X'FF' is NOT what I mean. I would like to be able to actually activate and use the full TRAP mechanism built into the hardware.

What sort of API are you looking for?
