Arguments
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``fd``
|
||
|
|
File descriptor returned by ``open()``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``buf``
|
||
|
|
Buffer with data to be written
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``count``
|
||
|
|
Number of bytes at the buffer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Description
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:ref:`write() <lirc-write>` writes up to ``count`` bytes to the device
|
||
|
|
referenced by the file descriptor ``fd`` from the buffer starting at
|
||
|
|
``buf``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The data written to the chardev is a pulse/space sequence of integer
|
||
|
|
values. Pulses and spaces are only marked implicitly by their position.
|
||
|
|
The data must start and end with a pulse, therefore, the data must
|
||
|
|
always include an uneven number of samples. The write function must
|
||
|
|
block until the data has been transmitted by the hardware. If more data
|
||
|
|
is provided than the hardware can send, the driver returns ``EINVAL``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return Value
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On success, the number of bytes read is returned. It is not an error if
|
||
|
|
this number is smaller than the number of bytes requested, or the amount
|
||
|
|
of data required for one frame. On error, -1 is returned, and the ``errno``
|
||
|
|
variable is set appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
|
||
|
|
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
