ibrd() is used to read data bytes from a device or board. The argument ud can be either a device or board descriptor. Up to num_bytes bytes are read into the user-supplied array buffer. The read may be terminated by a timeout occuring(see ibtmo()), the talker asserting the EOI line, the board receiving the end-of-string character (see ibeos()), receiving a device clear command, or receiving an interface clear.
If ud is a device descriptor, then the library automatically handles addressing the device as talker and the interface board as listener before performing the read.
If ud is a board descriptor, no addressing is performed and the board must be addressed as a listener by the controller-in-charge.
After the ibrd() call, ibcnt and ibcntl are set to the number of bytes read.
