💅 COMEDI_SET_MAX_BUFFE(3) 💅

okay bestie so this one's from the Comedi reference manual, section 3 (the library calls, iykyk), and it's all about telling your subdevice how big its streaming buffer is allowed to get. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_set_max_buffer_size — sets the streaming maximum buffer size of a subdevice

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <comedilib.h>

int comedi_set_max_buffer_size(comedi_t * device,
                               unsigned int subdevice,
                               unsigned int max_size);

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so comedi_set_max_buffer_size changes the maximum allowable size (in bytes) of the streaming buffer for the subdevice you point at with device and subdevice. it's giving "caps off, but make it bytes" 🎀

and the tea ☕ — changing the maximum buffer size requires the user to have appropriate privileges. so like, no sneaking in and resizing stuff without permission, that's not very main character of you 🙈

💖 RETURN VALUE 💖

  • on success, comedi_set_max_buffer_size returns the new maximum buffer size in bytes. slay ✨
  • on failure, -1 is returned. 😭
