- This functions returns the number of bytes the subdevice can hold in it's hardware buffer.
- The term "hardware buffer" refers to any fifos, etc. on the acquisition board itself which
- are used during streaming commands. This does not include the buffer maintained by
- the comedi kernel module in host memory, whose size may be queried by
- <link linkend="func-ref-comedi-get-buffer-size"><function>comedi_get_buffer_size</function></link>.
- The <parameter>direction</parameter> parameter of type
- <link linkend="ref-enum-comedi-io-direction">enum comedi_io_direction</link>
- should be set to COMEDI_INPUT to query the input buffer size (e.g., the buffer of an analog
- input subdevice), or COMEDI_OUTPUT to query the output buffer size (e.g., the buffer of
- an analog output).
