iio_device_attr_read()

__api ssize_t iio_device_attr_read	(	const struct iio_device *	dev,
		const char *	attr,
		char *	dst,
		size_t	len
	)

Read the content of the given device-specific attribute.

Parameters

dev	A pointer to an iio_device structure
attr	A NULL-terminated string corresponding to the name of the attribute
dst	A pointer to the memory area where the NULL-terminated string corresponding to the value read will be stored
len	The available length of the memory area, in bytes

Returns

On success, the number of bytes written to the buffer

On error, a negative errno code is returned

NOTE:By passing NULL as the "attr" argument to iio_device_attr_read, it is now possible to read all of the attributes of a device.

The buffer is filled with one block of data per attribute of the device, by the order they appear in the iio_device structure.

The first four bytes of one block correspond to a 32-bit signed value in network order. If negative, it corresponds to the errno code that were returned when reading the attribute; if positive, it corresponds to the length of the data read. In that case, the rest of the block contains the data.

iio_device_attr_read_all()

__api int iio_device_attr_read_all	(	struct iio_device *	dev,

	)

Read the content of all device-specific attributes.

Parameters

dev	A pointer to an iio_device structure
cb	A pointer to a callback function
data	A pointer that will be passed to the callback function

Returns

On success, 0 is returned

On error, a negative errno code is returned

NOTE: This function is especially useful when used with the network backend, as all the device-specific attributes are read in one single command.
