12 const char* egd_sensor_name(int stype);

15 egd_sensor_type() returns the identifier code of the sensor type named
16 sname. egd_sensor_name() is the reverse process: it retrieves the name
17 of the sensor type identified by stype.
18
19 Depending on which acquisition devices have been accessed by the
20 library, the sensor type identifier for a given name may be different
21 from a previous program execution. However once a association has been
22 established it is ensured that it will remain the same until the
23 process termination. Additionally, the sensor types named "eeg",
24 "trigger" and "undefined" are always associated respectively to 0, 1
25 and 2.
26
28 In case of success, egd_sensor_type() returns a non negative value cor‐
29 responding to the identifier of the sensor type called name. Otherwise
30 it returns -1.
31
32 In case of success, egd_sensor_name() returns the name of the sensor
33 type identified by stype. Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set
34 accordingly.
35
37 egd_sensor_type() or egd_sensor_name() will fail if:
38
39 EINVAL sname is NULL or refers to an unknown sensor type or if stype is
40 not a known sensor type identifier.
