iio_device_t..._buffer_mode(9)

💖 iio_device_try_claim_buffer_mode — from the Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, this one is short and sweet: it keeps the device in buffer mode. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_device_try_claim_buffer_mode — keep device in buffer mode ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool iio_device_try_claim_buffer_mode (struct iio_dev *indio_dev );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• indio_dev — the iio_dev associated with the device 🫶

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So, if the device is in buffer mode, it is guaranteed to stay that way until iio_device_release_buffer_mode is called. no cap, that's the whole promise ✨

Use it with iio_device_release_buffer_mode, bestie — they're a matching set 💖

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• true on success ✅
• false on failure 🙈
