💖 PPollConfig — the PPOLLCONFIG(3) era 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this one is a manual page and she's serving parallel poll realness. welcome to PPollConfig(3), the group chat where we tell a device how to answer when the bus comes knocking 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

PPollConfig — configure a device's parallel poll response 🦋

she does one thing and she does it flawlessly, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

void PPollConfig(int board_desc, Addr4882_t address, int dio_line,
                 int line_sense);

look at her. four args. no return value. minimal, iconic, lowkey perfect 💅

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea 🍓 — PPollConfig() configures the device specified by address to respond to parallel polls. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? she ate.

the dio_line argument tells us which dio line the device being configured should use to send back its parallel poll response. and listen, the valid values are 1 through 8 only — nothing outside that range, not a vibe, don't try it 🙈.

then we've got line_sense, which sets the polarity of the response. and this part is literally the whole personality of the function, so pay attention bestie:

• if line_sense is nonzero, then the specified dio line will be asserted to indicate that the 'individual status bit' (or 'ist') is 1 🔥
• if sense is zero, then the specified dio line will be asserted when ist is zero 💀

so yeah — it's giving polarity. it's giving ist energy. it's giving "I know exactly which dio line I'm on and I'm not sorry." ✨
