Detailed Description

Function Documentation

iio_device_create_event_stream()

struct iio_event_stream * iio_device_create_event_stream

(

const struct iio_device *

dev

)

Create an events stream for the given IIO device.

Parameters

dev	A pointer to an iio_device structure

Returns

On success, a pointer to an iio_event_stream structure

On failure, a pointer-encoded error is returned

iio_event_get_channel()

const struct iio_channel * iio_event_get_channel	(	const struct iio_event *	event,
		const struct iio_device *	dev,
		bool	diff )

Get a pointer to the IIO channel that corresponds to this event.

Parameters

event	A pointer to an iio_event structure
dev	A pointer to the iio_device structure that delivered the event
diff	If set, retrieve the differential channel

Returns

On success, a pointer to an iio_channel structure

On error, NULL is returned

iio_event_stream_destroy()

void iio_event_stream_destroy

(

struct iio_event_stream *

stream

)

Destroy the given event stream.

Parameters

stream

A pointer to an iio_event_stream structure

iio_event_stream_read()

int iio_event_stream_read	(	struct iio_event_stream *	stream,
		struct iio_event *	out_event,
		bool	nonblock )

Read an event from the event stream.

Parameters

stream	A pointer to an iio_event_stream structure
out_event	An pointer to an iio_event structure, that will be filled by this function.
nonblock	if True, the operation won't block and return -EBUSY if there is currently no event in the queue.

Returns

On success, 0 is returned

On error, a negative errno code is returned.

NOTE: it is possible to stop a blocking call of iio_event_stream_read by calling iio_event_stream_destroy in a different thread or signal handler. In that case, iio_event_stream_read will return -EINTR.
