DC_IRDA_OPEN(3)

📦 version 0.9.0, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to dc_irda_open(3) from the libdivecomputer Library Functions Manual — this is the page that explains how to open an iostream for an IrDA device, and we’re gonna get into it. 🦋✨

💅 NAME 💅

dc_irda_open — opens an iostream for an IrDA device. no cap, that’s the whole name section. 💖

🎀 LIBRARY 🎀

the library is libdivecomputer, periodt. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libdivecomputer/irda.h>

dc_status_t
dc_irda_open(dc_iostream_t **iostream, dc_context_t *context,
    unsigned int address, unsigned int lsap);

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so here’s the vibe: dc_irda_open() opens an iostream for an IrDA (Infra Red) device. 🫶 it accepts a context opened with dc_context_new(3), an address given through dc_irda_iterator_new(3) together with dc_irda_device_get_address(3), and the last argument, lsap, is a port number used during the communication. 💬

currently only Uwatec computers use IrDA communication, and for those the lsap can be hardcoded to 1. 🐬

okay so important: upon returning DC_STATUS_SUCCESS, the iostream pointer must be freed with dc_iostream_close(3). do not ghost that pointer, bestie. 😭💅

🔥 RETURN VALUES 🔥

it returns DC_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or one of several error values on error. on success, the iostream pointer is filled in with an open handle. slay. 👑
