Home- maghandle = magstripe.new(app)
- maghandle:close()
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Create a new magstripe reader handler. The handler is attached to the event processor passed in app.
The magstripe:close() will close the magstripe device when no longer needed. The handle becomes invalid. This automatically happens during garbage collection, but that takes an unknown amount of time.
RETURN VALUE
On success, a magstripe handler instance. If opening the magstripe device fails, three values are returned:
nil, a string describing the error (The result of the C library call strerror() on the
errno code) and the errno number from the standard C library.
EXAMPLE
>
>
app = event.new()
mag = magstripe.new(app)
