✨ iio_gts_avail_scales_for_time — the glow-up guide ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's about iio_gts_avail_scales_for_time(9) and honestly it's giving "helpful little helper function" energy and i'm obsessed 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_gts_avail_scales_for_time — literally just lists scales for a given integration time, no cap 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iio_gts_avail_scales_for_time(struct iio_gts *gts, int time,
                                  const int **vals, int *type, int *length);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • gts — the Gain time scale descriptor, aka the main character struct of this whole situation 👑
  • time — the integration time you're asking about, and yes the scales get listed for this time specifically 🕰️
  • vals — the returned array of supported scales, hand-delivered to you ✨
  • type — the type of the returned scale values, so you know what you're looking at 🔍
  • length — how many values actually came back in the array, iykyk 📏

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so here's the vibe: some drivers do not allow scale setting to change integration time 🙅‍♀️ and if that's your driver, this helper is your new bestie. you use it to list only the scales that are valid for a given integration time — no extra junk, no invalid entries, just the good stuff 💅✨

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it returns a value that's suitable to be returned from read_avail, or a negative error if things go sideways 😭 (negative error = vibe check failed, handle it).
