.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "ppi0 at hpib0 slave 5"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ppi
|
|
interface provides a means of communication with
|
|
.Tn HP-IB
|
|
printers and plotters.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Special files
|
|
.Pa ppi0
|
|
through
|
|
.Pa ppi7
|
|
are used to access the devices, with the digit at the end
|
|
of the filename referring to the bus address of the device.
|
|
Current versions of the autoconf code can not probe for these
|
|
devices, so the device entry in the configuration file must be
|
|
fully qualified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The device files appear as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
"crw-rw-rw- 1 root 11, 0 Dec 21 11:22 /dev/ppi"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
None.
|
|
.Sh SEE ALSO
|
|
.Xr hpib 4 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
This driver is very primitive, it handshakes data out byte by byte.
|
|
It should use
|
|
.Tn DMA
|
|
if possible.
