DU(4) UNIX Programmer's Manual DU(4)
NAME
du, dp - DU-11/DUP-11 201 data-phone interface
DESCRIPTION
The _d_p_0 file is a 201 data-phone interface. _R_e_a_d and _w_r_i_t_e
calls to dp0 are limited to a maximum of 512 bytes. Each
_w_r_i_t_e call is sent as a single record. Seven bits from each
byte are written along with an eighth odd parity bit. The
sync must be user supplied. Each _r_e_a_d call returns charac-
ters received from a single record. Seven bits are returned
unaltered; the eighth bit is set if the byte was not
received in odd parity. A 10 second time out is set and a
zero-byte record is returned if nothing is received in that
time.
FILES

DIAGNOSTICS
_E_r_r_n_o is set to ENXIO if an _o_p_e_n(2) fails because the device
is already in use by another process.
BUGS
The name _d_p_0 is a historical dreg.
