💖 lxi_receive(3) — C Library Functions 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page from the C Library Functions manual, and it's all about lxi_receive(3) — the little function that lets you receive a message from your LXI device. it's giving "hey, the instrument texted you back" energy and honestly? we're obsessed. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lxi_receive — receive message from LXI device 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <lxi.h>

int lxi_receive(int device, char *message, int length, int timeout);

like. that's the whole vibe. four args, one header, no cap. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so here's the tea 🍓 — the lxi_receive() function receives up to length bytes in the message buffer pointed to by message.

and the timeout? it's in milliseconds, bestie. so like, it waits that long and then it's done waiting. don't come for me, that's just the unit. ✨

✨ RETURN VALUE ✨

when everything goes right and the universe cooperates, lxi_receive() returns the number of bytes successfully received. 🌈

but if something went wrong? it returns LXI_ERROR. and that's it. that's the whole story. 😭
