Maybe we can use a similar approach as for IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_NANO. Maybe even put this into a small helper function. > case IIO_VAL_FRACTIONAL_LOG2: > tmp = shift_right((s64)vals[0] * 1000000000LL, vals[1]); > tmp0 = (int)div_s64_rem(tmp, 1000000000LL, &tmp1); > - return snprintf(buf, len, "%d.%09u", tmp0, abs(tmp1)); > + return snprintf(buf, len, "%s%u.%09u", sign, abs(tmp0), abs(tmp1)); > case IIO_VAL_INT_MULTIPLE: > { > int i; >
