1IIO trigger drivers.
2
3Many triggers are provided by hardware that will also be registered as
4an IIO device.  Whilst this can create device specific complexities
5such triggers are registered with the core in the same way as
6stand-alone triggers.
7
8struct iio_trig *trig = iio_allocate_trigger();
9
10allocates a trigger structure.  The key elements to then fill in within
11a driver are:
12
13trig->control_attrs
14	Any sysfs attributes needed to control parameters of the trigger
15
16trig->private_data
17	Device specific private data.
18
19trig->owner
20	Typically set to THIS_MODULE. Used to ensure correct
21	ownership of core allocated resources.
22
23trig->name
24	A unique name for the trigger.
25
26When these have been set call:
27
28iio_trigger_register(trig);
29
30to register the trigger with the core, making it available to trigger
31consumers.

34Trigger Consumers
35
36Currently triggers are only used for the filling of software ring
37buffers and as such any device supporting INDIO_RING_TRIGGERED has the
38consumer interface automatically created.
