0001 What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/buffer/length_align_bytes
0002 KernelVersion: 5.4
0003 Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
0004 Description:
0005 DMA buffers tend to have a alignment requirement for the
0006 buffers. If this alignment requirement is not met samples might
0007 be dropped from the buffer.
0008
0009 This property reports the alignment requirements in bytes.
0010 This means that the buffer size in bytes needs to be a integer
0011 multiple of the number reported by this file.
0012
0013 The alignment requirements in number of sample sets will depend
0014 on the enabled channels and the bytes per channel. This means
0015 that the alignment requirement in samples sets might change
0016 depending on which and how many channels are enabled. Whereas
0017 the alignment requirement reported in bytes by this property
0018 will remain static and does not depend on which channels are
0019 enabled.
