comedi_8254_pacer_enable(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 comedi_8254_pacer_enable(9) — like, the kernel API manual bestie ✨

Okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is comedi_8254_pacer_enable 🎀 — it sets the mode and loads the cascaded counters. Yes, both of them. Cascaded. We love a two-counter moment 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void comedi_8254_pacer_enable (struct comedi_8254 *i8254 , unsigned int
counter1 , unsigned int counter2 , bool enable );

That's the whole signature, no cap — it returns void, so it's giving "I do the thing and I don't report back" energy 😌

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • i8254 — the comedi_8254 struct for the timer. It's the lil' timer homebase you're working with 🏠
  • counter1 — the counter number for the first divisor. Which counter? This one, bestie 🔢
  • counter2 — the counter number for the second divisor. And this one for the second one, obviously 💫
  • enable — a bool flag that says whether to enable (load) the counters. true = load 'em, false = don't 🙈
fr fr, enable is literally described as "flag to enable (load) the counters" — so the loading is part of the deal, jsyk 💅
