💖 comedi_parse_calibration_file — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a Comedi reference page for comedi_parse_calibration_file(3), and it's lowkey just "here's how you load a calibration file, bestie." let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_parse_calibration_file — load contents of calibration file 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <comedilib.h>

comedi_calibration_t *
                                        comedi_parse_calibration_file(const char * file_path);

(yes the spacing is silly, that's just how the original do be, we don't touch it 💅)

🌸 STATUS 🌸

alpha

it's giving baby software, not gonna lie. it works, but treat it gently 🫶

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so basically: this function parses a calibration file — like, one of the ones produced by the comedi_calibrate or comedi_soft_calibrate programs — and hands you back a pointer to a comedi_calibration_t. that thing is your little golden ticket, and you can pass it straight into the comedi_apply_parsed_calibration or comedi_get_softcal_converter functions. ✨

🚨 use it, then lose it (the right way): when you're done with that comedi_calibration_t, you should call comedi_cleanup_calibration to free the resources tied to it. not optional behaviour-wise, it's just good manners. don't leave it hanging, bestie 😭

also, plot twist: the comedi_get_default_calibration_path function may be useful in conjunction with this function. they're besties, they run in the same circles 💜

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

  • a pointer to parsed calibration information — on success, obviously 💅
  • NULL — on failure. booooo 🍓

that's it, that's the deal. check for NULL, pls, for me 🙈
