The <em class="parameter"><code>mask</code></em> and <em class="parameter"><code>result</code></em> parameters are bitmasks, with the bits defined by the constants in parport.h: <code class="constant">PARPORT_STATUS_BUSY</code>, and so on. </p><p> The port is polled quickly to start off with, in anticipation of a fast response from the peripheral. This fast polling time is configurable (using /proc), and defaults to 500usec. If the timeout for this port (see <code class="function">parport_set_timeout</code>) is zero, the fast polling time is 35ms, and this function does not call <code class="function">schedule</code>. </p><p> If the timeout for this port is non-zero, after the fast polling fails it uses <code class="function">parport_wait_event</code> to wait for up to 10ms, waking up if an interrupt occurs. </p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="API-parport-wait-event.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="parportdev.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="API-parport-negotiate.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top"><span class="phrase">parport_wait_event</span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> <span class="phrase">parport_negotiate</span></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
