💖 RECEIVE(3) — the "go get the data, bestie" page 💖

okay so real talk, this is Receive(3) from the linux-gpib manual, and it is exactly the lil function you want when your board needs to actually talk to a device and pull data back. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

Receive — perform receive addressing and read data

like. the name is literally the plot. it addresses, it reads. main character energy fr fr 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

void Receive(int board_desc, Addr4882_t address, void *buffer,
             long count, int termination);

there she is. five arguments, zero drama. copy it exactly, don't get cute with it 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so Receive() does the necessary addressing first — that's the whole setup part — and then it reads data from the device that address is pointing at. 🫶

and here's the tea: it's equivalent to calling ReceiveSetup() and then calling RcvRespMsg() right after. same energy, one function. it's giving "two steps, but make it one" ✨

fr, if you already know how those two behave, you already know how this one behaves. iykyk 💜
