💅 input_set_events_per_packet(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to input_set_events_per_packet(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little kernel function that tells handlers about the driver event rate, and yes it ate ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

input_set_events_per_packet — tell handlers about the driver event rate 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void input_set_events_per_packet (struct input_dev *dev , int n_events
);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the input device used by the driver 💖
• n_events — the average number of events between calls to input_sync ⭐

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, if the event rate sent from a device is unusually large, use this function to set the expected event rate. no cap. this will allow handlers to set up an appropriate buffer size for the event stream, in order to minimize information loss 💅

it's giving "please prepare ur buffer, bestie, the events are coming" 😭🔥
