💅 ir_sanyo_decode(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to ir_sanyo_decode, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the SANYO decoder page and it's short but she serves.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ir_sanyo_decode — decode one SANYO pulse or space 🎀

Like, literally one. One single pulse. Or one single space. That's her whole job and she does it flawlessly 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ir_sanyo_decode (struct rc_dev *dev , struct ir_raw_event ev );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she takes two things and returns an int, periodt 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — the struct rc_dev descriptor of the device 🎀 this is the main character — the remote-control device struct she's decoding for, iykyk.
• ev — the struct ir_raw_event descriptor of the pulse/space ⭐ this is the actual pulse or space being handed over, one at a time, no cap.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So the way that this works is: she takes one SANYO pulse or space, feeds it through, and if the pulse violates the state machine she returns -EINVAL 💀

That's the whole vibe check — the state machine is the queen and if you break her rules you get -EINVAL, end of story 🙈

no cap, that's literally the only documented return behaviour here: -EINVAL on a state machine violation. don't come for her, she's doing her best 💅
