>The subdevice is busy performing an asynchronous command. A subdevice being "busy"
is slightly different from the "running" state flagged by SDF_RUNNING. A "running" subdevice
is always "busy", but a "busy" subdevice is not necessarily "running". For example, suppose an
analog input command has been completed by the hardware, but there are still samples in
Comedi's buffer waiting to be read out. In this case, the subdevice is not "running", but
is still "busy" until all the samples are read out or comedi_cancel() is called.</TD
