ieee1284_open — open a port
#include <ieee1284.h>
int ieee1284_open( | port, | |
flags, | ||
capabilities) ; |
struct parport * | port; |
int | flags; |
int * | capabilities; |
In order to begin using a port it must be opened. Any initial set-up of the port is done at this stage. When an open port is no longer needed it should be closed with ieee1284_close(3).
The possible flags
are:
F1284_EXCL
This device cannot share the port with any other device. If this is the case it must be declared at this stage, so that other drivers trying to access the port know not to bother; otherwise they will wait until this driver releases the port, i.e. never.
The iopl/dev-port access methods don't support this yet, but the ppdev ones do.
If capabilities
is not
NULL
it must point to storage for an
int, which will be treated as a set of flags,
one per bit, which the library sets or clears as
appropriate. If a capability is present it will be used
when asked for. They are:
CAP1284_RAW
Pin-level access is available. If this capability
is present then the following functions are effective:
ieee1284_write_data
,
ieee1284_read_status
,
ieee1284_wait_status
,
ieee1284_write_control
,
ieee1284_read_control
,
ieee1284_frob_control
.
CAP1284_NIBBLE
There is an implementation of nibble mode for this port.
CAP1284_BYTE
There is an implementation of byte mode for this port.
CAP1284_COMPAT
There is an implementation of compatibility mode for this port.
CAP1284_ECP
There is a hardware implementation of ECP mode for this port.
CAP1284_ECPRLE
There is an RLE-aware implementation of ECP mode
for this port (the F1284_RLE
flag
is recognised by the ECP transfer functions).
CAP1284_ECPSWE
There is a software implementation of ECP mode for this port.
CAP1284_BECP
There is an implementation of bounded ECP mode for this port.
CAP1284_EPP
There is a hardware implementation of EPP mode for this port.
CAP1284_EPPSWE
There is a software implementation of EPP mode for this port.
CAP1284_IRQ
An interrupt line is configured for this port and interrupt notifications can be received using ieee1284_get_irq_fd(3).
CAP1284_DMA
A DMA channel is configured for this port.
The port is now opened.
There was a problem during port initialization. This could be because another driver has opened the port exclusively, or some other reason.
There is not enough memory.
One or more of the supplied flags is not supported by this type of port.
The port
parameter is
invalid (for instance, the port
may already be open).
There was a problem at the operating system
level. The global variable errno
has been set appropriately.
