sensor_get_streaming_property()

Updated: April 19, 2023

Retrieve one or more streaming properties of the sensor

Synopsis:

#include <sensor/sensor_api.h>
#define sensor_get_streaming_property(handle,
                                   args...)

Arguments:

handle
The handle returned by a call to sensor_open().
args
A series of property-value pairs where each value must be a pointer to a variable of the expected type.

Library:

libsensor

Description:

This function retrieves one or more streaming properties of the given sensor. For the args argument, you can provide one or more property-value pairs using a sensor_streamprop_t value as the name of the property and a pointer to the correct type for the value, such as a uint64_t or sensor_coord_system_t value.

CAUTION:

The compiler performs no type-checking. Therefore, the value you provide for each property must match the expected data type. Mismatches can cause undefined behavior and application crashes.

You can specify multiple property-value pairs by delimiting their arguments with commas as follows: 
 sensor_get_streaming_property( sensor_handle,
                                SENSOR_STREAMPROP_FORMAT, &format,
                                SENSOR_STREAMPROP_COORD_SYSTEM, &coordSys );

Returns:

SENSOR_EOK when the function successfully completes, otherwise another sensor_error_t value that provides the reason why the call failed. This function returns SENSOR_EOPNOTSUPP if the property is not supported for the specified sensor.
