## Procrastination Functions

Procrastinations functions wait for specific events to occur or fail to occur.

### WaitForAssoc

`signed WaitForAssoc(` | plc`)`; |

`struct plc * plc`;

Poll a powerline device using `VS_NW_INFO` messages until the device forms or joins a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure `plc`. It calls either WaitForAssoc1 or WaitForAssoc2 to procrastinate based on the `hardwareID` member of structure `plc`. The function is declared in plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc.c. Struct `plc` is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c.

### WaitForAssoc1

`signed WaitForAssoc1(` | plc`)`; |

`struct plc * plc`;

Poll a 200mbs powerline device using `VS_NW_INFO` version `0` messages until the device joins or forms a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure `plc`. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc1.c. Struct `plc` is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c.

### WaitForAssoc2

`signed WaitForAssoc2(` | plc`)`; |

`struct plc * plc`;

Poll a 1000mbs powerline device using `VS_NW_INFO` version `1` messages until the device joins or forms a network. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure `plc`. Structure `plc` is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForAssoc2.c.

### WaitForReset

`signed WaitForReset(` | plc`)`; |

`struct plc * plc`;

Poll a powerline device using `VS_SW_VER` messages until the device stops responding. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure `plc`. Structure `plc` is declared in file plc.h and define in file plc.c. The function is declared in plc.h and defined in file WaitForReset.c.

### WaitForStart

`signed WaitForStart(` | plc, |
| firmware, |
| length`)`; |

`struct plc * plc`;
`char firmware`;
`size_t length`;

Poll a powerline device using `VS_SW_VER` messages until the device responds. The host ethernet interface, destination hardware address and source hardware address are specified in structure `plc`. Update the `hardwareID` member of the `plc` structure. Return the firmware revision string contained in the confirmation message. Structure `plc` is declared in file plc.h and defined in file plc.c. The function is declared in file plc.h and defined in file WaitForStart.c.
