Series 300 Dependencies
The following information, specific to Series 300 computers, is discussed in this
appendix:
• Location of the DIL subroutines,
• Information about creating interface special files used by DIL
subroutines,
• Relationship between entity identifiers and file descriptors,
• Restrictions imposed by the hardware on using the DIL subroutines,
• Techniques for improving data transfer performance when using DIL
subroutines.
Location of the OIL Subroutines
The DIL subroutines that provide direct control of your computer's interfaces
are contained in the library
/usr/lib/libdvio.
a. Some of these subroutines
are general-purpose and can be used with any interfa(te supported by the
library, while others provide control of specific interfaces. The Device I/O
Library (DIL) currently supports the HP-IB and GPIO interfaces.
