💖 COMEDI_RESET_CHANNEL 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the comedi reference section 3 page for comedi_reset_channel — she's giving "tiny function, very specific job" and honestly? we respect her for it. pull up a chair 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_reset_channel — reset a subdevice channel, that's it, that's the whole gig 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <comedilib.h>

int comedi_reset_channel(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice,
                         unsigned int channel);

like, you include the header, you call the function, you pass it a comedi_t * called device, a unsigned int subdevice, and a unsigned int channel. no cap, that's the entire vibe. ✨

🦋 STATUS 🦋

alpha

yeah. she's in her alpha era. we said it, the manpage said it, everybody knows. 🙈

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: this function resets a specified channel of a subdevice. one channel. that's the assignment. 🎀

but — and this is the important part, bestie, do not skip this — it's only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_RESET configuration instruction. no instruction, no reset, periodt.

and then there's the messy part: some subdevices treat this as an instruction to reset the whole subdevice and just... ignore the channel you specified. like girl, you asked for one channel, she redid the entire thing. 😭 for those subdevices, comedi_reset is normally called instead. iykyk.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

  • 0 on success 🌈
  • -1 on error 💀

two whole outcomes. slay.
