size_from_channelarray(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the size_from_channelarray(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally here to calculate the storage size of a scan ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned int size_from_channelarray (struct iio_channel_info *channels , int num_channels );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• channels — the channel info array. that's your struct iio_channel_info *, bestie 💅
• num_channels — number of channels. an int, periodt.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Heads up, bestie: this one has the side effect of filling the channels[i].location values used in processing the buffer output. so yeah, it's doing a little more than just calculating the storage size of a scan — it's also filling those channels[i].location values. iconic behavior, ngl. 💅✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

• Kernel file ./tools/iio/iio_generic_buffer.c enum autochan(9), process_scan(9) 👀
