okay bestie, gather round, it's a MTA(3) moment from the Utility Functions section and honestly? she's small, she's simple, she slays. 🎀

MTA — generate the 'my talk address' command byte 🗣️💬

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

uint8_t MTA(unsigned int address);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea, bestie ☕ — MTA() hands you back a 'my talk address' command byte, and it matches up with whatever you passed in as the address argument. it's giving "here's your byte, go be a talker" 💅

and the vibe check on address? she may be between 0 and 30. that's the whole range. no cap. 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

you get the appropriate MTA command byte back. that's it. that's the return. iconic behaviour, honestly ✨
