iio_trigger_poll(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to iio_trigger_poll — the little function that goes and calls the IRQ trigger handler of the consumers 💅 that's the whole vibe, that's the whole job.

(also hii, this is the iio_trigger_poll(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes the whole manual, we're fancy here 👑)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void iio_trigger_poll (struct iio_trigger *trig );

like, that's it. one function, one argument, no return value, no drama 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • trig — trigger which occurred ✨ literally just the trigger that fired, bestie. that's the one. that's the whole parameter. she's the trigger that occurred and she's the main character.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so listen up, this one's important 🚨 iio_trigger_poll should only be called from a hard IRQ context. not softirq, not a workqueue, not "i'll just sneak it in from a thread" — hard IRQ context, periodt 💀 no cap, that's the rule, respect it.

fr fr though, this is a "do not get cute with it" situation — the docs are super clear and they are not playing around 🙈
