iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h(9) β€” the kernel API manual, but make it make sense ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h page from the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of the main character of the buffered capture saga πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h β€” literally the trigger handler function πŸ’– that's it, that's the whole name, no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

irqreturn_t iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h (int irq , void *p );

copy it exactly like that, she's precise πŸ‘‘


πŸ’œ ARGUMENTS πŸ’œ

  • irq β€” the interrupt number πŸ”₯ that's the whole vibe of this one, it's just the irq number, periodt.
  • p β€” private data 🫢 and ngl it's always a pointer to the poll func. always. like clockwork.

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this is the guts of buffered capture 😭 the actual inner workings, the whole reason we're here.

when a trigger event goes down, if the pollfunc is attached, this handler gets called as a threaded interrupt β€” which, important detail bestie, means it may sleep πŸ’€ so don't be out here assuming it's all fast and non-blocking, iykyk.

its whole job? grabbing data from the device and pushing it into the associated buffer 🌈 that's the assignment, and it ate πŸ”₯


⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐


πŸŽ€ reminder: threaded interrupt = may sleep. do not forget, bestie, this is not a drill 🫢

alright that's the whole page 🌸 it lives in ./drivers/iio/dummy, dated October 2026, and it's the iio_simple_dummy_trigger_h(9) entry from the Kernel API Manual β€” mwah, go forth and buffer πŸ’–βœ¨
