The resistance member in ccs811_reading struct is an unsigned 16-bit integer variable used to store RAW_DATA register bytes read from CCS811. It is kind of misleading to name this struct member as resistance. About the RAW_DATA register bytes, the CCS811 datasheet states that: ----- Two byte read only register which contains the latest readings from the sense resistor. The most significant 6 bits of the Byte 0 contain the value of the current through the sensor (0μA to 63μA). The lower 10 bits contain (as computed from the ADC) the readings of the voltage across the sensor with the selected current (1023 = 1.65V)" ----- Hence, the RAW_DATA register byte contains information about electric current and voltage of the CCS811 sensor. Calling this struct member 'resistance' is kind of misleading, although both electric current and voltage are needed to calculate the electrical resistance of the sensor using Ohm's law, V = I x R, in which a new channel type of IIO_RESISTANCE may be added to the driver in the future.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
