As we send data from microcontroller to any device or receive data from any device.

I found that read-write naming is used at some places and send receive is used at some places in c code.

For example if I want to send to PC & receive data from PC through Uart protocol

Which function name will you suggest? Read/ Write or Send/Receive or Transfer/ Receive?

I know function names can be anything of choice but I want advice, what do you prefer in your code

 

Choose a name that best defines the function.
I would choose Send/Receive or Transmit/Receive.

Do you use Read/ Write in code?
If you do, where do you use it?

I would use Read/Write when addressing a register, memory location, input/output port, etc.

 

What compiler do you use?

The reason that I ask is that some compilers have advantages to using a certain name.

For example, calling your USART send function "putch()" with the XC8 compiler allows you to utilise the stdio functions for stdout
