✨ COMEDI_GET_BUFFER_OF(3) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Comedi reference 💖 this is the page for COMEDI_GET_BUFFER_OF — yes the title has a _OF vibe and the function is a _offset girlie, iykyk, the manpage naming is just like that. stay with me.

🎀 NAME 🎀

comedi_get_buffer_offset — streaming buffer status. and bestie… she's deprecated 😭

💀 STATUS 💀

deprecated

no cap, this one is deprecated. it's giving legacy. the way she still works but you really shouldn't be calling her 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so, this function is deprecated. like, officially. don't be the main character who ships new code with it, okay?

use comedi_get_buffer_read_offset instead 🫶 that's the replacement, that's the upgrade, that's the glow-up.

and the tea is: it has the same functionality as comedi_get_buffer_read_offset. literally identical behaviour, zero differences. so if you're already reaching for comedi_get_buffer_offset, swapping the name over to comedi_get_buffer_read_offset costs you nothing. free real estate ✨
