COMEDI_DISARM(3)

✨ COMEDI_DISARM ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the Comedi reference and this one is a lil function called comedi_disarm 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

comedi_disarm — disarm a subdevice 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <comedilib.h>

int comedi_disarm(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice);

---

⭐ STATUS ⭐

alpha 💀 (yes, it's giving "still cooking", we move)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically this function disarms a subdevice. Like, it could stop a counter from counting, for example — very "okay everyone pack it up" energy ✨

BIG important thing though: this function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_DISARM configuration instruction. If your subdevice doesn't support that, this is not the vibe, bestie.

Also lowkey crucial: some subdevices treat this as an instruction to disarm a specific channel. For those cuties, comedi_disarm will disarm channel 0 and you should be calling comedi_disarm_channel instead of this one, so you can actually say which channel you mean 👑 iykyk
