THREADIBCNT(3)

💖 THREADIBCNT — bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this is ThreadIbcnt(3) from the Utility Functions corner of the manual, and it's literally one of those small-but-important glow-up functions. she's short, she's sweet, she's thread-aware. periodt. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ThreadIbcnt — thread-specific ibcnt, ibcntl values 🧚

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gpib/ib.h>

int ThreadIbcnt(void);

long ThreadIbcntl(void);

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea ☕ — ThreadIbcnt() and ThreadIbcntl() hand you back thread-local versions of the global variables ibcnt and ibcntl. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

like, normally those globals are just... out there, shared, everyone's business. but these two? they're the ones that know which thread you're on. main character energy for real. 👑

---

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

what you get back is the value of ibcnt or ibcntl that corresponds to the last 'traditional' or 'multidevice' function called in the current thread. so like, per-thread receipts, basically. no cap. 💅
