✨ COMEDI_CLOSE(3) — like, the Comedi reference page, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Comedilib docs (manual section 3, the library-call zone 💅) and you need to close a Comedi device. That's literally it. That's the whole page. And yet it comes with SIX authors and a whole LGPL, because legends stay thorough. Let's go. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

comedi_close — close a Comedi device

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <comedilib.h>

int comedi_close(comedi * device);

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Close a device previously opened by comedi_open.

That's the vibe. You opened it, now you're closing it. Closure, but make it hardware. ✨

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

  • If successful, comedi_close returns 0. Slay. 💅
  • On failure, -1 is returned. 😭
