ir_jvc_encode(9)

💖 ir_jvc_encode(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here — and today's main character is ir_jvc_encode. it's giving "encode a scancode as a stream of raw events" and honestly? iconic. ✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

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

like, that's the whole vibe. four args, one int coming back at you. no cap. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• protocol — the protocol you wanna encode with. yes, this one. this is the one. 🦋
• scancode — the scancode that's getting encoded. it's the star of the show, let it shine. 👑
• events — the array of raw ir events you're writing into. like a little diary for infrared. 📓
• max — the maximum size of events. basically the diary's page count. don't overflow it bestie, fr fr. ⚠️

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of events written. simple, clean, slay. 💖

but plot twist — you might get -ENOBUFS if there isn't enough space in the array to fit the encoding 😭. and in that case, all max events will have been written anyway. so like, you got a partial answer and an error code, which is lowkey the most chaotic combo but okay, we deal. 💀

go read those too, iykyk. 🫶

reminder bestie: -ENOBUFS means your array was too small. size your buffers, hydrate, and check your max. 💅✨
