🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • i8254 — the comedi_8254 struct for the timer ⏰ that's your timer's whole personality, hand it over
  • counter — the counter number 🔢 which counter are we talking to bestie? pick one
  • val — the initial value 💫 the starting count, the beginning of its story
  • mode — the I8254_MODEx and I8254_BCD|I8254_BINARY 🎛️ yup, both of those — the mode situation and the BCD-or-binary situation, iconic combo
ngl these are the four things you pass in, and there are exactly four, and we are not skipping any of them 🙈
