iio_gts_total_gain_to_scale(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the iio_gts_total_gain_to_scale(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and its whole thing is convert gain to scale. literally the function name says it all. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is giving:

int iio_gts_total_gain_to_scale (struct iio_gts *gts , int total_gain ,
       int *scale_int , int *scale_nano );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • gts — the gain time scale descriptor, aka the main character struct. 👑
  • total_gain — the gain that's getting converted, fr fr.
  • scale_int — pointer to the integral part of the scale (typically val1).
  • scale_nano — pointer to the fractional part of the scale (nano or ppb).

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this cutie converts the total gain value to scale. that's the vibe. ✨

NOTE: this does not separate gain generated by HW-gain or integration time. It is up to caller to decide what part of the total gain is due to integration time and what due to HW-gain. ⚠️

like, that split is not this function's job — the caller has to figure out which part is which. no cap.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 on success. Negative errno on failure. slay when it's zero, weep when it's negative. 😭
