Add variable `def_n_chans_for_generic_timed` to hold the preferred
number of channels to use in calls to `comedi_get_cmd_generic_timed()`.
Reset the `n_chans_for_generic_timed` variable to this value each time
around the loop for each subdevice before clipping the value to the
number of channels the subdevice has.
`strtmp` is currently declared as `char strtmp[16]`, but that may be too
short for the calls to `unit_to_desc()` when the type of unit is
unknown. Increase its length to 32.
There is already a commented out rule in the example udev rules file
"z99_comedi.rules" to set the mode to 0660 and set the group owner to
"comedi". Add an almost identical commented out rule to set the group
owner to "iocard" as this is favoured by Debian.
The comedilib manual version is usually only updated if the manual has
changed since the previous release (although it ought to change anyway
if any library interfaces have changed). Allow a lower-case letter (or
sequence of letters) to be appended to the comedilib package version if
the only changes are outside the library sources and language bindings.
If something fails after a succesful open, cleanup fails to close the file.
The code
cleanup:
if(it)
free(it);
needs to be replaced with something like:
cleanup:
if (it) {
if (it->fd >= 0) {
close(it->fd);
}
free(it);

The comedilib manual mentions the version of comedilib it applies to.
This is not done automatically; it is done by editing
"doc/comedilib.ent". Add a comment to configure.ac as a reminder.
In "comedilib.ent", Add an XML entity 'comedilib_version' expanding to
the Comedilib version '0.10.0'. This is hard-edited in rather than set
dynamically. Setting it dynamically would be nice but producing it from
an AC_OUTPUT() file isn't all that nice as it would end up in the
'build' tree and we'd some ugly 'make' rule to copy it to the 'source'
tree. For now, just edit it manually as required. At least having it
as an entity means it only needs to be set in a single documentation
file!
In "comedilib.xml", change the subtitle to mention Comedilib and the
version number, using the comediliv_version entity.
"Selecting master clock %d for channel %d on subdevice %d.\n"
The %d after subdevice was missing although the corresponding parameter
in the argument list was present.
I'm not sure if all man pages should go in the general 'man'
subdirectory or a more specific subdirectory, but as the general 'man'
subdirectory already contained a man page for comedi_config (which has
its own source subdirectory), I moved the man page for comedi_board_info
there for consistency.
Also changed the EXTRA_DIST line in man/Makefile.am.
There was a stray space before the "Returns:" heading so it wasn't
processed as intended. Also, there was an empty line above it leading
to an empty paragraph in the DocBook funcref.xml.
section. Both comedi_to_phys and comedi_to_physical complement
each other. Comedi_to_phys is linear and very fast whereas
comedi_to_physical is more precise but requires polynomials
and calibration data.
Change DocBook XSL parameters for HTML output to use numbered sections
(like it was before we switched from SGML to XML) and to use just the
numbers in cross references, rather than number and/or title.
Add extra detail to the section on acquisition functions about the
range and aref parameters, and describe the comedi_range type.
The whole section is still a bit higgledy-piggledy and could do with
some rearrangement one day!
This makes sure the HTML output for
<function>foo<parameter>bar</parameter><parameter>baz</parameter></function>
includes parentheses, although it doesn't seem to add empty parentheses
after a plain <function>foo</function> which perhaps it should.
Some DocBook mark-up changes. Also avoided absolute path-names for
sources as people tend to put them in different places! Also changed
instructions for submitting drivers for review.
