Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tools: iio: print error message when buffer enable fails
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2015 20:22:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437672172-21189-3-git-send-email-irina.tirdea@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437672172-21189-1-git-send-email-irina.tirdea@intel.com>

Running generic_buffer without enabling any channel of the
sensor will fail without printing any error message.

Add an error message that indicates buffer enable failed.
