    I guess I need to step back. Is there something special I need to do to get
    interrupts working when the port is in epp-1.9 mode?

    The ieee1284_get_irq_fd(port) just returns the fd associated with the port.
    Which I understand I can select/poll on.

    But I can't seem to find where the library is looking at nINTR (nACK in SPP
    mode, pin 10) to handle any peripheral interrupts.

    Code snippet:

      /* Boiler plate code */
      ieee1284_find_ports(&list, 0);
      port = list.portv[0];
      ieee1284_open(port, 0, NULL);
      ieee1284_claim(port);

      int irq = ieee1284_get_irq_fd(port);
      FD_ZERO(&rfds);
      FD_SET(irq, &rfds);
      ret = select(irq+1, &rfds, &rfds, &rfds, 0);
      if (ret) {
            ieee1284_clear_irq(port, &count);
            printf("Event occurred count:%d\n", count);
      }

    The peripheral side, I have complete control over the pins (custom hardware),
    I've tried asserting and de-asserting pin 10, but select() never returns.

    I feel like I need to set something up before going into select to tell the
    library I want it to look at pin 10 (nINTR) and I want to be notified when
    something happens on that pin.
