.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This function arms a subdevice\&. It may, for example, arm a counter to begin counting\&. The
\fIsource\fR
parameter specifies what source should trigger the subdevice to begin\&. The possible sources are driver\-dependant\&. This function is only useable on subdevices that provide support for the
\fBINSN_CONFIG_ARM\fR
configuration instruction\&. Some subdevices treat this as an instruction to arm a specific channel\&. For those subdevices, this function will arm channel
0
and
\fBcomedi_arm_channel\fR
should be called instead of this one to specify the channel\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
0
on success,
\-1
on error\&.
