7 modbus_read_bits - read many bits
12 *int modbus_read_bits(modbus_t *'ctx', int 'addr', int 'nb', uint8_t *'dest');*
17 The *modbus_read_bits()* function shall read the status of the _nb_ bits (coils)
18 to the address _addr_ of the remote device. The result of reading is stored in
19 _dest_ array as unsigned bytes (8 bits) set to `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
21 You must take care to allocate enough memory to store the results in _dest_
22 (at least _nb_ * sizeof(uint8_t)).
24 The function uses the Modbus function code 0x01 (read coil status).
29 The function shall return the number of read bits if successful. Otherwise it
30 shall return -1 and set errno.
