  NAME

    gpib_reset - Conducts an Interface Clear (IFC) operation on a General
    Purpose Interface Bus (GPIB) channel

  LIBRARY

    Intergraph Device Library *L(libix.a)*O

  SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/xio/xerr.h>

    int gpib_reset(
      int channel );

  PARAMETERS

    channel   An integer representing a channel

  DESCRIPTION

    The gpib_reset() function activates a GPIB Interface Clear (IFC) condition
    on channel.  As defined in the IEEE 488 standard, the GPIB IFC signal is
    guaranteed to be asserted for a minimum of 100 microseconds.  When this
    signal is cleared, the controller is put in a standby state.

  RETURN VALUES

    Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned.  Otherwise, one of
    the following failure codes is returned.

  ERRORS

    The gpib_reset() function will fail if one of the following is true:

    [XIO_FAILURE]
           The system does not contain the driver needed to support this
           request.

    [GPIB_OUT_OF_RANGE]
           The specified channel is beyond the maximum allowed.

    [GPIB_NOT_OPEN]
           The specified channel is not open.

    [GPIB_NOT_OWNER]
           The specified channel is currently open by another process.
