The device is selected +by its primary address +.Fa pad , +a numerical value between 0 and 30, possibly additionally by its +secondary address +.Fa sad , +a numerical value between 96 and 126, or 0 to not use secondary +addressing. +The +.Fa tmo +value specifies the timeout to use when communicating with the device. +This can be any of the constants +.Dv TNONE , +.Dv T10us , +.Dv T30us , +.Dv T100us , +.Dv T300us , +.Dv T1ms , +.Dv T3ms , +.Dv T10ms , +.Dv T30ms , +.Dv T100ms , +.Dv T300ms , +.Dv T1s , +.Dv T3s , +.Dv T10s , +.Dv T30s , +.Dv T100s , +.Dv T300s , +or +.Dv T1000s . +The boolean parameter +.Fa eot +specifies whether the bus signal +.Li EOI +(end-or-identify) should be asserted when sending the last byte of a +message to the device. +Finally, the +.Fa eos +parameter determines whether any special character should be used to +identify the end of a device message when transferring messages on the +bus. +The lower 8 bits of +.Fa eos +are interpreted as an end-of-string character, +.Li EOS . +This character can be ORed with the following values: +.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent +.It Dv REOS +When receiving a message byte on the bus that matches the +.Li EOS +character, treat it as if the +.Li EOI +signal were asserted, and stop receiving. +.It Dv XEOS +When transmitting a message byte on the bus that matches the +.Li EOS +character, assert the +.Li EOI +bus signal by the same time, and stop sending. +.It Dv BIN +If set, include all 8 bits of the +.Li EOS +character in the comparison; if unset, compare only 7 bit ASCII +values. +.El +Passing 0 as +.Fa eos +will turn off any special character treatment, allowing for a fully +8-bit transparent communications channel to the device. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibfind +is meant to find the +.Em

+.Fa v . +.Em This function is currently not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn iblines +returns the status of the control and handshake bus lines into the +area pointed to by +.Fa lines . +.Em This function is currently not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibllo +is obsolete, and not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibln +checks for a listener at the primary address +.Fa padval +and the optional secondary address +.Fa sadval . +If a listener was found, the value pointed to by +.Fa listenflag +will be set to a non-zero value. +.Em This function is currently not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibloc +turns the device into local mode. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibonl +is used to close or reinitialize a device handle. +If parameter +.Fa v +is passed as zero, the handle will be closed, and cannot be used +again. +If it is passed as a non-zero value, all parameters of the handle +will be returned to their defaults; +.Em this functionality is currently unsupported. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibpad +is used to change the primary address of the device being communicated +with to +.Fa pad . +See +.Fn ibdev +for an explanation. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibpct +is used to make the

function +.Fn ibrsv +sets the serial poll response of the board to +.Fa v , +possibly requesting service from the controller if the SRQ bit (0x40) +is set. +.Em This function is currently not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibsad +changes the secondary address of the device being communicated with to +.Fa sad . +See +.Fn ibdev +for an explanation. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibsgnl +is obsolete, and not implemented. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibsic +asserts the +.Em Interface Clear (IFC) +signal line on the bus for at least 100 microseconds. +This will make all devices attached to the bus to unlisten and untalk. +This function should only be executed on the system controller. +.Pp +The function +.Fn ibsre +asserts the +.Em Remote Enable (REN) +signal line on the bus if argument
