The ad driver provides an interface to the
    Data Translation A/D converter. This is not a real-time
    driver, but merely allows the user process to sample the board's channels
    one at a time. Each minor device selects a different A/D board.
The driver communicates to a user process by means of
    ioctl(2)s. The
    AD_CHAN
    ioctl(2) selects which
    channel of the board to read. For example,
chan = 5; ioctl(fd, AD_CHAN, &chan);
selects channel 5. The AD_READ
    ioctl(2) actually reads the
    data and returns it to the user process. An example is
ioctl(fd, AD_READ, &data);
ad driver appeared in
  4.1BSD.
