Synopsis

|
========
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#include <unistd.h>

|
|
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 exact format of the data depends on what mode a driver uses, use
|
|
:ref:`lirc_get_features` to get the supported mode.
|
|
|
|
When in :ref:`LIRC_MODE_PULSE <lirc-mode-PULSE>` mode, 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.
