IBWRTF(3)

✨ IBWRTF(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Traditional API Functions corner of the ibwrtf man page 💖 this one is short but she's mighty, and honestly? she eats. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ibwrtf — write data bytes from file (board or device) 💅

like... she writes bytes. from a file. to a board or device. that's the whole gig, and she does it flawlessly, no cap ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gpib/ib.h>

int ibwrtf(int ud, const char *file_path);

there she is. two args, one include, zero drama 🦋

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the tea ☕

ibwrtf() is similar to ibwrt() — literally her sister, same energy, same vibe — EXCEPT that the data being written comes from a file instead of an array sitting in memory. that's it. that's the plot twist. 🙈

file_path specifies the file, bestie. and the way that file gets handled? it is written byte for byte onto the bus. not vibes-based. not approximated. byte. for. byte. 🔥

so if you were sitting there like "hmm do I really have to load this whole thing into a buffer first" — no queen, you do not. point her at a path and let her cook 👑

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

the value of ibsta is returned 💖

that's it, that's the return. go check your status word, she's telling you everything iykyk 🌈
