comedi_get_buffer_contents — streaming buffer status

Synopsis

#include <comedilib.h>
int comedi_get_buffer_contents(comedi_t * device,
 unsigned int subdevice);
 

Description

The function comedi_get_buffer_contents is used on a subdevice that has a Comedi command in progress to get the number of unread bytes. For a streaming input command, this is the number of bytes that can be read. For a streaming output command, subtracting this from the buffer size gives the space available to be written.

Return value

On success, comedi_get_buffer_contents returns the number of unread bytes in the buffer. On failure, -1 is returned.
