💖 IBTRG(3) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're doing a Traditional API Functions moment and this one is literally so simple it's iconic. it's ibtrg — the trigger device function — and she is serving main character energy with barely any lines of code. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ibtrg — trigger device (device) 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <gpib/ib.h>

int ibtrg(int ud);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she do? ibtrg() sends a GET (group execute trigger) command byte to whatever device you point at with the device descriptor ud. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one command byte, one device, zero drama. no cap. ✨

like, you hand her the ud, she fires off the GET, done. the device gets triggered, you get to feel powerful, everyone wins. 🫶

👑 RETURN VALUE 👑

she gives you back the value of ibsta — that's the status word, bestie, the receipts. so check it if you wanna know how things went. 💜
