.th DP IV 5/31/77
.sh NAME
dp \*- DP-11, DU-11 synchronous line interface
.sh DESCRIPTION
The
.it dp0
file
is a data-set interface.
.it Read
and
.it write
calls
to dp0
are unlimited, but this works best when restricted to less than 512 bytes.
Each write call is sent as a single record.
Seven bits from each byte
are written along with an eighth odd parity
bit.
The sync characters must be user supplied.
Each read call returns characters 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.
An error is returned if data-set ready is not present.
