Detailed Description

Function Documentation

int a4l_snd_insn ( a4l_desc_t dsc,
a4l_insn_t arg 
)

Perform a synchronous acquisition misc operation.

The function a4l_snd_insn() triggers a synchronous acquisition.

Parameters
[in]dscDevice descriptor filled by a4l_open() (and optionally a4l_fill_desc())
[in]argInstruction structure
Returns
0 on success. Otherwise:
  • -EINVAL is returned if some argument is missing or wrong (Please, type "dmesg" for more info)
  • -EFAULT is returned if a user <-> kernel transfer went wrong
  • -ENOMEM is returned if the system is out of memory

References a4l_descriptor::fd.

int a4l_snd_insnlist ( a4l_desc_t dsc,
a4l_insnlst_t arg 
)

Perform a list of synchronous acquisition misc operations.

The function a4l_snd_insnlist() is able to send many synchronous instructions on a various set of subdevices, channels, etc.

Parameters
[in]dscDevice descriptor filled by a4l_open() (and optionally a4l_fill_desc())
[in]argInstructions list structure
Returns
0 on success. Otherwise:
  • -EINVAL is returned if some argument is missing or wrong (Please, type "dmesg" for more info)
  • -EFAULT is returned if a user <-> kernel transfer went wrong
  • -ENOMEM is returned if the system is out of memory
