rtf_flush

Name

rtf_flush -- empty a realtime FIFO

Synopsis

       #include <rtl_fifo.h>

       int rtf_flush(unsigned int fifo);

DESCRIPTION

rtf_flush empties the RT-FIFO fifo.

The RT-FIFO is a mechanism, implemented as a character device, to communicate between realtime tasks and ordinary Linux processes. The rtf_* functions are used by the realtime tasks; Linux processes use standard character device access functions such as read(2), write(2) and select(2).

RETURN VALUE

This function returns 0 on success and a negative error code on error.

ERRORS

-ENODEV: N or P is greater than or equal to RTF_NO.
-EINVAL: N or P is not a valid RT-FIFO identifier.
