๐ struct ff_trigger(9) ๐
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual โ this is the page for <struct ff_trigger>, and it's genuinely such a lil cutie. short king energy, but it's the thing that defines what actually triggers a force-feedback effect. that's it. that's the whole gig. periodt. ๐
โจ NAME โจ
struct ff_trigger โ defines what triggers the force-feedback effect ๐ฎ
๐ฆ SYNOPSIS ๐ฆ
like, here's the whole vibe, verbatim:
struct ff_trigger {
__u16 button;
__u16 interval;
};
that's the entire struct. two whole fields. she's compact and she knows it. ๐
๐ธ Members ๐ธ
buttonโ the number of the button that triggers the effect. like, this is the button, this one right here, the one that makes the magic happen ๐ฅintervalโ controls how soon the effect can be re-triggered. your built-in cooldown, basically. it's giving "wait your turn bestie" โณ
