STRUCT IIO_HW_CONSUMER(9)

💅 struct iio_hw_consumer(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 💅

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, in the 9 section of the manual (that's the kernel API one, iykyk), and you meet struct iio_hw_consumer — the IIO hw consumer block. that's the whole NAME moment, and honestly? iconic. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the literal glow-up, character for character, no cap:

struct iio_hw_consumer {
    struct list_head buffers;
    struct iio_channel *channels;
};

two members. that's it. she's lean, she's mean, she's a consumer block 💅

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• buffers — the list head for the hardware buffers. literally the head of the list, holding it all together like the group chat admin 🌸
• channels — the IIO provider channels. the actual channel pointers, the main character energy of the whole struct 👑

the kernel file, fr fr, exactly where the magic lives:

• Kernel file ./drivers/iio/buffer/industrialio-hw-consumer.c

lowkey obsessed with how tidy this page is. no warnings, no bugs, no deprecated nonsense — just vibes and two struct members. slay 💖

and that's the whole page, bestie! this lil love letter lives in ./drivers/iio/buffer, dated October 2026, and it's the struct iio_hw_consumer(9) page forever and always 🌈⭐ go forth and consume your IIO hardware, periodt 🧚💜
