---

int comedi_apply_parsed_calibration(comedi_t * device,
                                    unsigned int subdevice,
                                    unsigned int channel,
                                    unsigned int range,
                                    unsigned int aref,
                                    const comedi_calibration_t * calibration);

✨ STATUS ✨

alpha 🍼 — yeah she's still cooking, that's the vibe

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so listen 🫶 this function is literally the sister of comedi_apply_calibration, the only glow-up is that the calibration info comes from memory instead of from a file. that's it. that's the whole plot. 📖✨

and like, why is that a big deal? because this one can be more efficient than comedi_apply_calibration — no cap — since the calibration file does not need to be reparsed every single time you call it. imagine not doing the same homework over and over. iconic behaviour honestly 😌

the value of the parameter calibration comes from a call to comedi_parse_calibration_file. that's where you get it. that's the plug. 🔌

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

• returns 0 on success 🎉 slay
• returns -1 on failure 😭 not slay
