💅 iio_backend_data_stream_disable — the Kernel API Manual (section 9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat 😌 this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's about one tiny little function that turns a data stream off. no cap, that's literally it. let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_backend_data_stream_disable — Disable data stream 🛑

that's the whole vibe. it disables a data stream. periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iio_backend_data_stream_disable (struct iio_backend *back );

like, look at her. one argument, returns an int. lowkey iconic 💅 (copy it exactly, bestie, don't you dare retype it from memory 🙈)

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • back — the Backend device 🫶 that's your backend device, the main character of this whole operation.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Disable data stream over the bus interface. 🌈

that's it, that's the whole function. she goes over the bus interface and shuts the data stream down. not me being obsessed with how clean that is 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐
