💅 dvb_dmx_swfilter_raw(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the dvb_dmx_swfilter_raw page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short but she's iconic, and she's literally about handing raw data straight to userspace with zero filtering. no cap. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

dvb_dmx_swfilter_raw — make the raw data available to userspace without filtering 💫

like, the whole point. she's giving "middleman? never heard of her" energy 🙈

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void dvb_dmx_swfilter_raw (struct dvb_demux *demux , const u8 *buf ,
size_t count );

that's the whole signature, character for character, don't come for me 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• demux — pointer to struct dvb_demux 🫶 that's your demux struct bestie, she's the main character here
• buf — buffer with data ⭐ literally just the bytes
• count — number of packets to be passed. The actual size of each packet depends on the dvb_demux->feed->cb.ts logic 👀 so like, don't assume a packet size, count is a packet count and the size per packet is decided over there

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Use it if the driver needs to deliver the raw payload to userspace without passing through the kernel demux 💖 literally what the name says. This is meant to support some delivery systems that aren't based on MPEG-TS 🧚 iykyk, not everything in this world is a transport stream.

This function relies on dvb_demux->feed->cb.ts to actually handle the buffer ⚡ like, she's not doing the work herself, she's trusting the callback to catch it. so go make sure that callback is set up properly or it's giving chaos 😭

ngl the whole vibe here is "trust fall with the kernel" — this function hands off and lets dvb_demux->feed->cb.ts do the actual handling. that's not me being dramatic, that's literally the manpage 🫶
