iio_str_to_fixpoint(9)

💅 iio_str_to_fixpoint(9)

okay so bestie, this is iio_str_to_fixpoint(9) from the Kernel API Manual — a whole little function whose entire personality is "turn a string into a fixed-point number" ✨ she's small, she's focused, she eats.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

iio_str_to_fixpoint — literally just "Parse a fixed-point number from a string." that's her whole thing. no notes. periodt. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iio_str_to_fixpoint (const char *str , int fract_mult , int *integer
, int *fract );

look at that signature, she's giving very much "four arguments and a dream" 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• str — The string to parse. yes queen, this is the actual text you're feeding in 💖
• fract_mult — Multiplier for the first decimal place, and it should be a power of 10. that "should" is doing a lot of heavy lifting ngl, so like… respect the power-of-10 vibe check, okay? 🌈
• integer — The integer part of the number. the whole-number glow-up goes here 👑
• fract — The fractional part of the number. all the little decimal crumbs after the point live here 🍓

---

💀 RETURN 💀

0 on success, or a negative error code if the string could not be parsed.

so like — zero means slay, negative means the parse did NOT pass the vibe check. no in-between, bestie 😭
