dvb_device_get(9)

✨ dvb_device_get — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

Okay bestie, so this one lives in the dvb_device_get(9) section of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? It's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" energy. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

dvb_device_get — increases the dvb_device reference ✨

Literally, that's the whole vibe. It bumps the reference count. No cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct dvb_device * dvb_device_get (struct dvb_device *dvbdev );

Yes, it hands you back a struct dvb_device * — iconic of it. 👑

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• dvbdev — a pointer to struct dvb_device 🫶. That's your little guy right there.

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

This is where it gets so social, bestie. Every single one of these is in the Kernel file ./include/media/dvbdev.h — go look, iykyk:

• enum dvb_device_type(9)
• struct dvb_adapter(9)
• struct dvb_device(9)
• struct dvbdevfops_node(9)
• dvb_device_put(9)
• dvb_register_adapter(9)
• dvb_unregister_adapter(9)
• dvb_register_device(9)
• dvb_remove_device(9)
• dvb_unregister_device(9)
• dvb_create_media_graph(9)
• dvb_register_media_controller(9)
• dvb_get_media_controller(9)
• dvb_generic_open(9)
• dvb_generic_release(9)
• dvb_generic_ioctl(9)
• dvb_usercopy(9)
• dvb_module_probe(9)
• dvb_module_release(9)
• dvb_attach(9)
• dvb_detach(9)

Like, that's the whole squad right there. dvb_device_get(9) and dvb_device_put(9) are literally the matched set — one grabs, one lets go. Main character and their counterpart, fr fr. 💅

🧚 Friendly lil reminder: this page only tells you the reference goes up. If you want the mirror move, that's dvb_device_put(9) — go read that one too, bestie.

Slay, that's the whole page. This gem lives under ./include/media in the Kernel API Manual, and it's dated October 2026 — mark your calendar, the future is now. ⭐👑

That's it, that's the page. Obsessed. 💖🌸🦋
