dtv_get_frontend(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is dtv_get_frontend(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and the whole vibe is: dtv_get_frontend — calls a callback for retrieving DTV parameters. Literally that’s the main character job 💅✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int dtv_get_frontend (struct dvb_frontend *fe , struct
       dtv_frontend_properties *c , struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p_out );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• fe — struct dvb_frontend pointer, aka the frontend bestie 🫶
• c — struct dtv_frontend_properties pointer (the DVBv5 cache) 🧚
• p_out — struct dvb_frontend_parameters pointer (the DVBv3 FE struct) 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So this routine calls either the DVBv3 or DVBv5 get_frontend call — yes, it’s giving “why choose?” energy ✨. If c is not null, it will update the DVBv5 cache struct pointed by it. If p_out is not null, it will update the DVBv3 params pointed by it. No cap, that’s the whole tea, periodt 💅
