hal_param_new - creates a HAL parameter
SYNTAX

int hal_param_float_new(const char *name, hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_float_t * data_addr, int comp_id)
int hal_param_u32_new(const char *name, hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_u32_t * data_addr, int comp_id)
int hal_param_s32_new(const char *name, hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_s32_t * data_addr, int comp_id)
int hal_param_bit_newf(hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_bit_t * data_addr, int comp_id, const char *fmt, ...)
int hal_param_float_newf(hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_float_t * data_addr, int comp_id, const char *fmt, ...)
int hal_param_u32_newf(hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_u32_t * data_addr, int comp_id, const char *fmt, ...)
int hal_param_s32_newf(hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_s32_t * data_addr, int comp_id, const char *fmt, ...)
int hal_param_new(const char *name, hal_type_t type, hal_param_dir_t dir, void *data_addr, int comp_id)
ARGUMENTS
- name
-
The name to give to the created parameter
- dir
-
The direction of the parameter, from the viewpoint of the component. It may be one of HAL_RO, or HAL_RW A component may assign a value to any parameter, but other programs (such as halcmd) may only assign a value to a parameter that is HAL_RW.
- data_addr
-
The address of the data, which must lie within memory allocated by hal_malloc.
- comp_id
-
A HAL component identifier returned by an earlier call to hal_init.
- fmt, ...
-
A printf-style format string and arguments
- type
-
The type of the parameter, as specified in hal_type_t(3hal).
DESCRIPTION
The hal_param_new family of functions create a new param object.
There are functions for each of the data types that the HAL supports. Pins may only be linked to signals of the same type.
RETURN VALUE
Returns a HAL status code.
