πŸ’Œ SEND(3) β€” bestie we're sending stuff πŸ’Œ

okay so this is the Send manual page from the linux-gpib girlies, and it's lowkey iconic. it does send addressing AND writes your data, all in one lil function call. we love an efficient queen πŸ‘‘


✨ NAME ✨

Send β€” perform send addressing and write data πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <gpib/ib.h>

void Send(int board_desc, Addr4882_t address, const void *data,
          long count, int eot_mode);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so Send() does two things and it does them together, no cap:

  1. it addresses the device you point at with address as a listener πŸ‘‚
  2. then it writes your data onto the bus πŸ“€

it's literally equivalent to a SendList(), bestie β€” same energy, except it only uses a single GPIB address to specify the listener instead of letting you pass in an array of listeners. so if you only got one listener? this is your girl. if you got a whole squad of listeners? go call SendList() instead, iykyk πŸ’…
