Is it possible to use poll or select to detect a change in the status
bits of the parallel port? I tried something like this, and took bits
5 and 6 of the status register low and nothing seemed to happen. Is
what I am trying to do even possible, or I am supposed to take a
certain bit low to cause a read event? Any help is appreciated.
int ppi_fd;
char port[] = "/dev/ppi0";
ppi_fd = open(port, O_RDWR);
fd_set rfds;
struct timeval tv;
tv.tv_sec = 0;
tv.tv_usec = 100000;
while(1) {
FD_ZERO( &rfds );
FD_SET( ppi_fd, &rfds );
if ( select(1, &rfds, NULL, NULL, &tv) ) {
printf("hi\n");
}
}
