set_timeout(9)

💅 set_timeout(9) — it's giving Kernel API Manual energy

okay so bestie, welcome to the set_timeout page ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about setting the single byte / total timeouts on the adapter 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

set_timeout — set single byte / total timeouts on the adapter. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void set_timeout (struct gpib_board *board );

like, that's it. one function, one argument, iconic behavior 👑

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• board — the gpib_board_struct data area for this gpib interface. yeah, that's the thing you're handing over, she's the main character here 🫶

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ — for sake of speed, the operation is performed only if it modifies the current (saved) value. so if nothing's actually changing, she's not even gonna bother, and honestly? respect. 💅

the minimum allowed timeout is 30 ms (T30ms -> 8), so don't even try to go lower than that, bestie 😭

and heads up — timeout disable (TNONE -> 0) is currently not supported. like, not yet. so don't come for her about it 🙈
