NAME
     gpib -- General-Purpose Instrument Bus (GPIB) driver

SYNOPSIS
     Either of the pcii(4) or tnt4882(4) drivers use this driver as the backend.

DESCRIPTION
     The gpib driver provides support for driving an IEEE-488 bus, also called IEC-625 (or just "IEC bus"), or HP-IB (Hewlett Packard Instrument
     Bus), or GPIB (General Purpose Instrument Bus).  The device can become either a listener, talker, controller, and in particular a master con-
     troller on the bus.

FILES
     /dev/gpibNib   Main device node to access the driver.

     /dev/gpibNl    Listen-only entry to the driver.  When opening, an instrument can send data to this device on the bus in an unaddressed mode,
		    for example hard-copy printer data.
