/*
 * bcode.h - barcode scanner input on the Workabout MX (integral laser).
 *
 * The Workabout MX integral laser is an UNDECODED (HHLC) scanner: it emits a
 * raw bar/space signal, not decoded ASCII. The hardware serial decoder in the
 * RS232/Barcode module only handles wands and wand-emulation scanners (the HC
 * guide lists "Undecoded Laser Scanner (HHLC)" as unsupported there), which is
 * why reading TTY:D directly yielded nothing even though the laser's own
 * good-read LED lit.
 *
 * The decode is instead done in software by a barcode decoder LDD. The SDK
 * ships several (\SIBOSDK\LIB): BAREAN (EAN/UPC), BARC39, BAR128, BARITF,
 * BARMPLES, BARRAW. Each registers the device "BAR:". For UPC we load BAREAN.
 *
 * Usage: bcodeLoad() once, then bcodeOpen() to get a channel, then read it.
 * The BAREAN.LDD file must be present on the device so p_loadldd can find it.
