iio_push_event(9)

💅 iio_push_event(9) 💅

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, and we're about to get into it. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

iio_push_event — try to add event to the list for userspace reading. that's the whole assignment, bestie. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int iio_push_event (struct iio_dev *indio_dev , u64 ev_code , s64
       timestamp );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• indio_dev — the IIO device structure. like the main character device struct, you know.
• ev_code — what event. literally which event is happening.
• timestamp — when the event occurred. time stuff, iconic.

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

bestie, heads up: the caller must make sure that this function is not running concurrently for the same indio_dev more than once. no overlapping calls for the same device, periodt. 💀

This function may be safely used as soon as a valid reference to iio_dev has been obtained via iio_device_alloc, but any events that are submitted before iio_device_register has successfully completed will be silently discarded. 😭 so like, if you push events too early, they just vanish into the void. fr fr. 🙈

okay that's the page! this gem comes from ./drivers/iio, date October 2026, and the manual is iio_push_event(9). stay slay, bestie 💅✨🎀
