icedil Functions

The 'icedil' functions are used to control a raw GPIB device file from userc functions. These functions provide a thin layer on top of the HP DIL library to hide GPIB specific details, thus making it easier to use GPIB I/O as well as to port userc functions to non-HP machines. The source files are written in plain C and are provided with a Makefile.

There are two icedil files in $ICCAP_ROOT/src:

icedil.h	Contains low level I/O call prototypes
icedil.c	Includes actual codes for each ice_hpib_xxxx call

Most icedil functions are named after corresponding DIL functions and return the same values. However there are some functions that do not correspond to any DIL functions.
