adis_single_conversion(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so this is the adis_single_conversion(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie it performs a single sample conversion ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int adis_single_conversion (struct iio_dev *indio_dev , const struct iio_chan_spec *chan , unsigned int error_mask , int *val );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• indio_dev — The IIO device, aka the main character of this call 💅
• chan — The IIO channel, the one we’re converting from 🦋
• error_mask — Mask for the error bit; yes, it’s doing a vibe check on the raw value
• val — Result of the conversion; it lives here after the call 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns IIO_VAL_INT on success, a negative error code otherwise. That’s the return vibe, periodt.

The function performs a single conversion on a given channel and post processes the value accordingly to the channel spec. Like, it grabs one sample and makes it make sense for that channel.

If an error_mask is given, the function will check if the mask is set in the returned raw value. If it is set, the function will perform a self-check. And if the device does not report a error bit in the channel’s raw value, set error_mask to 0. That part is important, iykyk.

💀 Real talk: if the device does not report a error bit in the channel’s raw value, set error_mask to 0. Don’t skip that little detail.
