NAME

cib − ib driver control program

SYNOPSIS

cib [ function [ parameter ... ] ] ... < /dev/ib00

DESCRIPTION

Cib presents most of the special i/o control functions of the ib(4) driver in a useable (symbolic) form. The argument list is a series of function names and parameters, evaluated left-to-right. If the argument list is empty, cib reads and prints out the GPIB-796 registers. 

The functions and their arguments are described below.  Some are available only to the super-user (see ib(4)).

init
executes the IBIOINIT ioctl.

setnode nodeno tag flags
executes the IBIOSETNODE ioctl. Only the tag and flags fields are changed.

getnode nodeno
executes the IBIOGETNODE ioctl and prints the structure in a readable form.

start
executes the IBIOSTART ioctl.

ppc mask
executes the IBIOPPC ioctl.

poll
executes the IBIOPOLL ioctl.

srq value
executes the IBIOSRQ ioctl.

takectl
executes the IBIOTAKECTL ioctl.

passctl nodeno
executes the IBIOPASSCTL ioctl.

cutoff
executes the IBIOCUTOFF ioctl.
