NAME

       comedi_set_buffer_size - streaming buffer size of subdevice

SYNOPSIS

       #include <comedilib.h>

       int comedi_set_buffer_size(comedi_t * device, unsigned int subdevice, unsigned int size);

DESCRIPTION

       The function comedi_set_buffer_size changes the size of the streaming buffer for the subdevice specified
       by device and subdevice. The buffer size will be set to size bytes, rounded up to a multiple of the
       virtual memory page size. The virtual memory page size can be determined using sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE).

       This function does not require special privileges. However, it is limited to a (adjustable) maximum
       buffer size, which can be changed by a privileged user calling comedi_set_max_buffer_size, or running the
       program comedi_config.

RETURN VALUE

       The new buffer size in bytes is returned on success. On error, -1 is returned.
