SYNOPSIS

iread [-t timeout] [-c count] [-e end_char] [-v] [-?] <sym_name>

DESCRIPTION

Iread is the SICL utility for reading data from devices.  The output of iread goes to stdout.  The read is terminated only when count number of bytes is read, a timeout occurs, a byte is read with the END indicator, or the termination character end_char is read.  These conditions may occur in combination. 
 
The sym_name is the SICL symbolic name, or address, of the device.  Note that iread is only supported for device addresses.
