NAME

       parport_wait_peripheral - wait for status lines to change in 35ms

SYNOPSIS

       int parport_wait_peripheral(struct parport * port, unsigned char mask, unsigned char result);

ARGUMENTS

       port
	   port to watch

       mask
	   status lines to watch

       result
	   desired values of chosen status lines

DESCRIPTION

       This function waits until the masked status lines have the desired values, or until 35ms have elapsed (see IEEE 1284-1994 page 24 to 25 for
       why this value in particular is hardcoded). The mask and result parameters are bitmasks, with the bits defined by the constants in
       parport.h: PARPORT_STATUS_BUSY, and so on.

       The port is polled quickly to start off with, in anticipation of a fast response from the peripheral. This fast polling time is
       configurable (using /proc), and defaults to 500usec. If the timeout for this port (see parport_set_timeout) is zero, the fast polling time
       is 35ms, and this function does not call schedule.

       If the timeout for this port is non-zero, after the fast polling fails it uses parport_wait_event to wait for up to 10ms, waking up if an
       interrupt occurs.

NAME

       ieee1284_read_status, ieee1284_wait_status - analyse status lines

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ieee1284.h>

       int ieee1284_read_status(struct parport *port);

       int ieee1284_wait_status(struct parport *port, unsigned char mask, unsigned char val, struct timeval *timeout);

DESCRIPTION

       There are five status lines, one of which is usually inverted on PC-style ports. Where they differ, libieee1284 operates on the IEEE 1284
       values, not the PC-style inverted values. The status lines are represented by the following enumeration:

	   enum ieee1284_status_bits
	   {
	     S1284_NFAULT = 0x08,
	     S1284_SELECT = 0x10,
	     S1284_PERROR = 0x20,
	     S1284_NACK   = 0x40,
	     S1284_BUSY   = 0x80,
	     /* To convert those values into PC-style register values, use this: */
	     S1284_INVERTED = S1284_BUSY,
	   };

       These functions all act on the parallel port associated with port, which must be claimed.

       The purpose of ieee1284_wait_status is to wait until particular status lines have specified values. Its timeout parameter may be modified
       on return.

RETURN VALUE

       For ieee1284_read_status, the return value is a non-negative integer with bits set as appropriate representing the status lines. A negative
       result indicates an error.

       For ieee1284_wait_status, the return value is E1284_OK if the status lines now reflect the desired values (i.e. status & mask is val), or a
       negative result indicating an error.

       Possible error codes:

       E1284_NOTIMPL
	   The port lacks the required capability. This could be due to a limitation of this version of libieee1284, or a hardware limitation.

       E1284_NOTAVAIL
	   Access to the status lines is not available on this port type.

       E1284_TIMEDOUT
	   The timeout has elapsed.

       E1284_INVALIDPORT
	   The port parameter is invalid (for instance, perhaps the port is not claimed).

NOTES

       The nAck pin is often able to trigger interrupts on the host machine. With operating system help these interrupts may be visible to the
       application via the file descriptor returned by ieee1284_get_irq_fd.

       Under Linux, the conditions are that the parallel port driver knows which interrupt line to use and is using it, and that the relevant
       /dev/parport device node is accessible and backed by a device driver.
