+ <entry>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.</entry>
