Function Documentation

unsigned long long a4l_get_time ( void )

Get the absolute time in nanoseconds.

Returns:: the absolute time expressed in nanoseconds

void a4l_task_destroy ( a4l_task_t * task )

Destroy an Analogy task.

This function belongs to a minimal set of task management services (with a4l_task_init() and a4l_task_sleep()). Such features are not critical for Analogy driver development.

Parameters:

[in,out] task Task handle

int a4l_task_init	(	a4l_task_t *	task,
		const char *	name,
		a4l_task_proc_t	proc,
		void *	arg,
		int	priority
	)

Intialise and start an Analogy task.

This function belongs to a minimal set of task management services (with a4l_task_destroy() and a4l_task_sleep()). Such features are not critical for Analogy driver development.

Parameters:

[in,out]	task	Task handle
[in]	name	Optional task name
[in]	proc	Procedure to be executed by the task
[in]	arg	Custom argument passed to `proc()` on entry
[in]	priority	Priority of the task

Returns:: 0 on success, otherwise negative error code

int a4l_task_sleep ( unsigned long long nsdelay )

Make the current Analogy task passively wait a defined delay.

This function belongs to a minimal set of task management services (with a4l_task_init() and a4l_task_destroy()). Such features are not critical for Analogy driver development.

Parameters:

[in] nsdelay Amount of time expressed in nanoseconds during which the Analogy task must be sleeping.

Returns:: 0 on success, otherwise negative error code
