iio_gts_get_gain(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 iio_gts_get_gain(9) — it's from the Kernel API Manual bestie

okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel, and there's this little helper called iio_gts_get_gain ✨ It does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully — convert scale to total gain. That's it. That's the whole vibe.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iio_gts_get_gain (const u64 max , const u64 scale );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • max — the maximum linearized scale, bestie 💖 As an example (and this example eats, fr): when scale is created in magnitude of NANOs and max scale is 64.1 — the linearized scale is 64 100 000 000. Yeah. That many zeros. It's giving "trust the process".
  • scale — the linearized scale you actually wanna compute the gain for 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this is an internal helper for converting scale to total gain 🫶 That's the tea. It's not out here doing main character energy on its own — it's a support system, and honestly? Iconic.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It hands you back the (floored) gain corresponding to the scale ✨ And if the scale is invalid? Nope. Not today. You get -EINVAL 💀 (the floor stays flooring, no cap).

First up, the kernel file it lives in, iykyk:

and then the whole friend group 💜 — literally the entire gts-helper squad, all present and accounted for:

💖 that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and convert those scales 💖

okay and for the little sign-off: this page comes from the source directory ./drivers/iio, and it's dated October 2026 🎀⭐ Take care of her 💅
