40 * @section sec_intro Introduction
42 * The <a href="http://sigrok.org">sigrok</a> project aims at creating a
43 * portable, cross-platform, Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software
44 * suite that supports various device types (such as logic analyzers,
45 * oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
47 * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libsigrokdecode">libsigrokdecode</a> is a
48 * shared library written in C which provides the basic API for (streaming)
49 * protocol decoding functionality.
51 * The <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoders">protocol decoders</a>
52 * are written in Python (>= 3.0).
54 * @section sec_api API reference
56 * See the "Modules" page for an introduction to various libsigrokdecode
57 * related topics and the detailed API documentation of the respective

81 * Initializing and shutting down libsigrokdecode.
85 * @defgroup grp_init Initialization
87 * Initializing and shutting down libsigrokdecode.
89 * Before using any of the libsigrokdecode functionality, srd_init() must
90 * be called to initialize the library.
92 * When libsigrokdecode functionality is no longer needed, srd_exit() should
99 * Initialize libsigrokdecode.
101 * This initializes the Python interpreter, and creates and initializes
102 * a "sigrokdecode" Python module.
104 * Then, it searches for sigrok protocol decoders in the "decoders"
105 * subdirectory of the the libsigrokdecode installation directory.
106 * All decoders that are found are loaded into memory and added to an
107 * internal list of decoders, which can be queried via srd_decoder_list().
109 * The caller is responsible for calling the clean-up function srd_exit(),
110 * which will properly shut down libsigrokdecode and free its allocated memory.
112 * Multiple calls to srd_init(), without calling srd_exit() in between,
115 * @param path Path to an extra directory containing protocol decoders
116 * which will be added to the Python sys.path. May be NULL.
118 * @return SRD_OK upon success, a (negative) error code otherwise.
119 * Upon Python errors, SRD_ERR_PYTHON is returned. If the decoders
120 * directory cannot be accessed, SRD_ERR_DECODERS_DIR is returned.
121 * If not enough memory could be allocated, SRD_ERR_MALLOC is returned.
