✨ NAME ✨

ibloc — go to local mode (board or device) 💅 like bestie we're putting this thing in local mode, board or device, whichever one you point at

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gpib/ib.h>

int ibloc(int ud);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ibloc is the lil function that causes the board or device specified by the descriptor ud to go to local mode. that's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

but listen, there's a catch, and it's giving plot twist: if ud is a board descriptor</>, and the board is in local lockout, then the function will fail. no cap. local lockout said "not today" 🙈

also, heads up bestie — note that if the system controller is asserting the REN line, then devices on the bus will return to remote mode the next time they are addressed by the controller in charge. so like, it's lowkey temporary. the universe (and the controller) may pull them right back. 💀

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

the value of ibsta is returned. that's the whole thing, that's the answer, periodt. 👑
