+=================
+Triggered Buffers
+=================
+
+Now that we know what buffers and triggers are let's see how they work together.
+
+IIO triggered buffer setup
+==========================
+
+* :c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_setup` — Setup triggered buffer and pollfunc
+* :c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_cleanup` — Free resources allocated by
+  :c:func:`iio_triggered_buffer_setup`
+* struct iio_buffer_setup_ops — buffer setup related callbacks
+
+A typical triggered buffer setup looks like this::
+
+    const struct iio_buffer_setup_ops sensor_buffer_setup_ops = {
+      .preenable    = sensor_buffer_preenable,
+      .postenable   = sensor_buffer_postenable,
+      .postdisable  = sensor_buffer_postdisable,
+      .predisable   = sensor_buffer_predisable,
+    };
+
+    irqreturn_t sensor_iio_pollfunc(int irq, void *p)
+    {
+        pf->timestamp = iio_get_time_ns((struct indio_dev *)p);
+        return IRQ_WAKE_THREAD;
+    }
+
+    irqreturn_t sensor_trigger_handler(int irq, void *p)
+    {
+        u16 buf[8];
+        int i = 0;
+
+        /* read data for each active channel */
+        for_each_set_bit(bit, active_scan_mask, masklength)
+            buf[i++] = sensor_get_data(bit)
+
+        iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp(indio_dev, buf, timestamp);
+
+        iio_trigger_notify_done(trigger);
+        return IRQ_HANDLED;
+    }
+
+    /* setup triggered buffer, usually in probe function */
+    iio_triggered_buffer_setup(indio_dev, sensor_iio_polfunc,
+                               sensor_trigger_handler,
+                               sensor_buffer_setup_ops);
+
+The important things to notice here are:
+
+* :c:type:`iio_buffer_setup_ops`, the buffer setup functions to be called at
+  predefined points in the buffer configuration sequence (e.g. before enable,
+  after disable). If not specified, the IIO core uses the default
+  iio_triggered_buffer_setup_ops.
+* **sensor_iio_pollfunc**, the function that will be used as top half of poll
+  function. It should do as little processing as possible, because it runs in
+  interrupt context. The most common operation is recording of the current
+  timestamp and for this reason one can use the IIO core defined
+  :c:func:`iio_pollfunc_store_time` function.
+* **sensor_trigger_handler**, the function that will be used as bottom half of
+  the poll function. This runs in the context of a kernel thread and all the
+  processing takes place here. It usually reads data from the device and
+  stores it in the internal buffer together with the timestamp recorded in the
+  top half.
