💅 iio_channel_cb_get_channels — the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed

okay so bestie, welcome to iio_channel_cb_get_channels(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and no cap this one's a little cutie. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

iio_channel_cb_get_channels — get access to the underlying channels. literally that's the whole vibe, she's here to hand you the channels. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iio_channel * iio_channel_cb_get_channels (const struct
iio_cb_buffer *cb_buffer );

yes the signature really does wrap like that, don't come for her 💀

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • cb_buffer — the callback buffer, aka the one we're asking for channel info from. she's the main character here, we want the channel deets out of her. 👑

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so what does she actually do? this function lets you get information about the channels. that's it, that's the job, and she does it slayfully. ✨

and here's the tea: while this may allow direct reading if all buffers are disabled, that is not the primary aim, so don't get it twisted. the primary aim is to let drivers that are consuming a channel query things like the scaling of the channel. iykyk. 🌈

fr fr, "may allow direct reading if all buffers are disabled" is the side quest, not the mission. the mission is letting consuming drivers ask about stuff like channel scaling. 💅
