ASYNCIBSTA(3)

💖 ASYNCIBSTA(3) 💖

okay bestie, so this is AsyncIbsta — it's an ibsta value for the last async I/O operation you did. it lives in the Utility Functions section, iykyk. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

AsyncIbsta — the ibsta value for your last asynchronous I/O operation, fr fr 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

int AsyncIbsta(void);

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so AsyncIbsta() hands you a thread-local status value that's related to the global variable ibsta. its whole vibe corresponds to the result of the last asynchronous I/O operation that got resynchronized to the current thread by an ibwait or ibstop call. 👑

and here's the tea: this function only reflects the result of the asynchronous I/O operation itself, and not — for example — the ibwait that resynchronized the async result over to the current thread. so the result from AsyncIbsta() is way easier to interpret than ThreadIbsta(), because there's no ambiguity about whether the value is attached to the async I/O result or to the function call used to resynchronize (ibwait or ibstop). no confusion, no drama, slay. ✨

ngl, only the status bits END | ERR | TIMO | CMPL are valid in the returned status byte. the rest of the bits? ignore them bestie, they're set to zero. 💀

oh and heads up — this function is a Linux-GPIB extension. 🦋

🎀 RETURN VALUE 🎀

a value related to ibsta corresponding to the last asynchronous I/O operation resynchronized to the current thread. periodt. 🫶
