VIDEO_GET_PTS(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this page is VIDEO_GET_PTS(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the name is VIDEO_GET_PTS — the original leaves the description after the dash totally blank, so we're keeping it blank (no invented summary, periodt 💅).

💫 SYNOPSIS 💫

VIDEO_GET_PTS

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this one reads the 33 bit presentation time stamp exactly as defined in ITU T-REC-H.222.0 / ISO/IEC 13818-1 — that's the whole vibe, bestie. 🦋

The PTS should belong to the currently played frame if possible, but it may also be a value close to it — like the PTS of the last decoded frame, or the last PTS extracted by the PES parser. Both of those close-to-it situations are fair game, no cap. 💖
