okay bestie, this one is from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally about encoding a scancode as a stream of raw events. no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ir_imon_encode — Encode a scancode as a stream of raw events. that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ir_imon_encode (enum rc_proto protocol , u32 scancode , struct
       ir_raw_event *events , unsigned int max );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• protocol — protocol to encode. like, which protocol are we encoding with, bestie?
• scancode — scancode to encode. yes, the actual scancode going into the stream 🔥
• events — array of raw ir events to write into. this is the write-into zone 🎀
• max — maximum size of events. so we know how much room we have, periodt 🫶

💖 RETURN 💖

Returns the number of events written. 💖

If there is not enough space in the array to fit the encoding, it returns -ENOBUFS. In this case all max events will have been written. 😭💀
