💖 comedi_8254_read(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, yes it's fancy, we love that for it. this page is all about comedi_8254_read, and honestly? it's a little icon. it does exactly one thing and it does it flawlessly.

✨ NAME ✨

comedi_8254_read — read the current counter value 🎀

like, you point it at a timer, you tell it which counter, and it hands you back the number. no drama, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

unsigned int comedi_8254_read (struct comedi_8254 *i8254 , unsigned int counter);

that's it. that's the whole vibe. a unsigned int going in, a unsigned int coming out, main character energy on both ends. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • i8254 — the comedi_8254 struct for the timer 🫶 this is your timer's whole little personality container. hand it over and we'll read from it.
  • counter — the counter number ⭐ literally just which counter you want the value of. that's the assignment. that's the task.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the source file, obviously, because we stan a primary source:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/comedi/drivers/comedi_8254.c

and the whole friend group — these functions all hang out together and you should totally meet them:

iykyk 💀 it's a whole squad.

💜 reminder bestie: this page only covers reading the counter. if you need to write, set a mode, load a value, or do the ns-to-timer math, that's a different page. go visit the friends above. 🧚

and that's the whole thing!! no notes, she ate. 🌈

okay byeeee — this cutie page lives in ./drivers/comedi/drivers, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual. periodt. 💖✨🎀🦋
