+.Ss Function Description
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn ibdev
+is used to open the GPIB device, and establish the parameters to
+communicate with a particular bus device. The device is selected
+by its primary address
+.Fa pad ,
+a numerical value between 0 and 30, possibly additionally by its
+secondary address
+.Fa sad ,
+a numerical value between 96 and 126, or 0 to not use secondary
+addressing.
+The
+.Fa tmo
+value specifies the timeout to use when communicating with the device.
+This can be any of the constants
+.Dv TNONE ,
+.Dv T10us ,
+.Dv T30us ,
+.Dv T100us ,
+.Dv T300us ,
+.Dv T1ms ,
+.Dv T3ms ,
+.Dv T10ms ,
+.Dv T30ms ,
+.Dv T100ms ,
+.Dv T300ms ,
+.Dv T1s ,
+.Dv T3s ,
+.Dv T10s ,
+.Dv T30s ,
+.Dv T100s ,
+.Dv T300s ,
+or
+.Dv T1000s .
+The boolean parameter
+.Fa eot
+specifies whether the bus signal
+.Li EOI
+(end-or-identify) should be asserted when sending the last byte of a
+message to the device.
+Finally, the
+.Fa eos
+parameter determines whether any special character should be used to
+identify the end of a device message when transferring messages on the
+bus.
+The lower 8 bits of
+.Fa eos
+are interpreted as an end-of-string character,
+.Li EOS .
+This character can be ORed with the following values:
+.Bl -tag -compact -offset indent
+.It Dv REOS
+When receiving a message byte on the bus that matches the
+.Li EOS
+character, treat it as if the
+.Li EOI
+signal were asserted, and stop receiving.
+.It Dv XEOS
+When transmitting a message byte on the bus that matches the
+.Li EOS
+character, assert the
+.Li EOI
+bus signal by the same time, and stop sending.
+.It Dv BIN
+If set, include all 8 bits of the
+.Li EOS
+character in the comparison; if unset, compare only 7 bit ASCII
+values.
+.El
+Passing 0 as
+.Fa eos
+will turn off any special character treatment, allowing for a fully
+8-bit transparent communications channel to the device.
