IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS(9)

💅 IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS(9) — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS — Declare a buffer with timestamp. That's the whole vibe: it's the macro that declares a buffer and makes room for the timestamp too. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS (type , name , count );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• type — the element type of the buffer. This is what each buffer slot is made of, okurrr.
• name — the identifier name of the buffer. That's the name you'll use to refer to it, bestie.
• count — the number of elements in the buffer. How many type girlies are fitting in here.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so IIO_DECLARE_BUFFER_WITH_TS declares a buffer that is safe to use with iio_push_to_buffers_with_ts. No cap. 🫶

And it's not just doing the bare minimum: in addition to allocating enough space for count elements of type, it also allocates space for a s64 timestamp at the end of the buffer and ensures proper alignment of the timestamp. The way that it handles both the elements and the timestamp alignment is honestly iconic. ✨
