sensor_get_location_property()

Retrieve one or more location properties for a sensor

Synopsis:

#include <sensor/sensor_api.h>
#define sensor_get_location_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 location properties for the given sensor. For the args argument, you can provide one or more property-value pairs using a sensor_location_prop_t value as the name of the property and a pointer to the correct type for the value, such as a int or double value. Location information can help you to properly identify where each sensor is located on the device.

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_location_property(sensor_handle,
                              SENSOR_LOCATION_POSITION_X, &positionX,
                              SENSOR_LOCATION_PITCH, &pitch );

Returns:

SENSOR_EOK when the function successfully completes, otherwise another sensor_error_t value that provides the reason that the call failed.
