NAME
hal_param_new - creates a HAL parameter

SYNTAX

 int hal_param_bit_new(const char *name, hal_param_dir_t dir, hal_bit_t * data_addr, int comp_id)

 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.
