ir_sanyo_encode(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so welcome to ir_sanyo_encode(9) in the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💖 this is the page for ir_sanyo_encode — it encodes a scancode as a stream of raw events. that's the whole vibe. periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

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

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• protocol — the protocol to encode, no cap.
• scancode — the scancode that's getting encoded.
• events — the array of raw ir events to write into.
• max — the maximum size of events.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

it returns the number of events written ✨

if there isn't enough space in the array to fit the encoding, you get -ENOBUFS 😭 and in this case all max events will have been written. yes, literally all of them.
