STRUCT IIO_DEV_ATTR(9)

💅 struct iio_dev_attr(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct iio_dev_attr(9) — this one is literally an iio specific device attribute, and it’s serving main character energy in the IIO struct lineup. no cap, we’re gonna go field by field, and every detail stays. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iio_dev_attr — iio specific device attribute. that’s the vibe: it’s the iio-specific device attribute struct, periodt. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iio_dev_attr {
    struct device_attribute dev_attr;
    u64 address;
    struct list_head l;
    struct iio_chan_spec const *c;
    struct iio_buffer *buffer;
 };

yes, that closing brace has its little leading space, and we are not touching it — character-for-character bestie 🎀

🎀 Members 🎀

• dev_attr — underlying device attribute. the base-layer attribute energy, fr fr. 💅
• address — associated register address. register-address realness, no cap. 📍
• l — list head for maintaining list of dynamically created attrs. list-head duties, iconic. 🧚
• c — specification for the underlying channel. channel-spec girlie, lowkey essential. 🦋
• buffer — the IIO buffer to which this attribute belongs to (if any). yes, the (if any) is part of the lore, and it stays. 🌈
