Description

The function dvc_set_inp_mask() is used in conjunction with device drivers to change the source of input from devices other than the normal keyboard.

You can set up the input sources for a driver with the utility DFSETUP. For example, a device might have the following input devices set up:

 

Source Number

Device

 

1

Keyboard

 

2

MSR

 

3

Scanner

 

4

Scales

 

Each of the source numbers correspond to a bitmask of 2 to the power of the number. For example, to take input from the keyboard, scanner or the scales, set the ipsource parameter to 1 + 4 + 8.

See the DP4 Device Drivers Developers Manual for more information about this function.
