πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… kmx61_read_for_each_active_channel β€” the Kernel API Manual era

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is kmx61_read_for_each_active_channel(9). yes the header truncates it to kmx61_read_f...tive_channel(9) β€” that's just the page title doing its little shy thing, the actual function name is the full one, iykyk. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

kmx61_read_for_each_active_channel β€” literally reads each active channel into a buffer. that's the vibe. every active channel gets read, no channel left behind. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int kmx61_read_for_each_active_channel (struct iio_dev *indio_dev , s16
*buffer );

so it takes an indio_dev and a buffer, and it returns an int. that's the whole signature, slay. ✨


πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • indio_dev β€” the IIO Device struct you're reading from. it's giving source of truth, the one we're pulling data out of. πŸ‘‘
  • buffer β€” the destination buffer we write to. important: the array must be of at least size 8. not 7, not "close enough" β€” 8. periodt. πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

  • 0 on success. iconic, we love a clean zero. βœ…
  • a negative errno on failure. 😭 so if it's negative, something went sideways and the errno tells you what.

🧚 SEE ALSO 🧚


ngl bestie, always double-check your buffer is at least size 8 before you call this. the docs said it, so I'm saying it. no cap. πŸ™ˆ
