NAME

       comedi_get_clock_source - get master clock for a subdevice

SYNOPSIS

       #include <comedilib.h>

       int comedi_get_clock_source(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice,
                                   unsigned int channel, unsigned int * clock,
                                   unsigned int * period_ns);

STATUS

       alpha

DESCRIPTION

       This function queries the master clock for a subdevice, as set by comedi_set_clock_source.
       The currently configured master clock will be written to *clock. The possible values and
       their corresponding clocks are driver-dependant. The period of the clock in nanoseconds
       (or zero if it is unknown) will be written to *period_ns. If the subdevice does not
       support configuring its master clocks on a per-channel basis, then the channel parameter
       will be ignored.

       It is safe to pass NULL pointers as the clock or period_ns parameters. This function is
       only useable on subdevices that provide support for the INSN_CONFIG_GET_CLOCK_SOURCE
       configuration instruction.

RETURN VALUE

       0 on success, -1 on error.
