💅 ir_raw_encode_scancode(9) 💅

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — today's main character is ir_raw_encode_scancode, and it is literally here to encode a scancode as raw events. No cap. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ir_raw_encode_scancode — Encode a scancode as raw events. That's the whole thing. It's giving "does exactly what it says on the tin". ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • protocol — the protocol, bestie. Yeah, it's just the protocol (enum rc_proto, iykyk). 💖
  • scancode — a scancode filter describing a single scancode. Like, one (1) scancode. 🍓
  • events — array of raw events to write into. This is where the magic lands. ✨
  • max — max number of raw events. The ceiling. The limit. Respect it. 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Attempts to encode the scancode as raw events. That's it — it attempts, okay? "Attempts" is the key word, so don't come for me if the vibe check doesn't pass. 😭

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • The number of events written — slay, it worked. 👑
  • -ENOBUFS — if there isn't enough space in the array to fit the encoding. In this case all max events will have been written — so like, it wrote as much as it could, bestie, sorry. 💀
  • -EINVAL — if the scancode is ambiguous or invalid, or if no compatible encoder was found. That's a no from me. 🙈

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

And that's the whole page, bestie — the source line is ./drivers/media/rc, the date is October 2026, and yeah, the footer is still repping ir_raw_encode_scancode(9) because we stay on brand. 💅✨ Mwah. 🧚
