dvb_register_device(9)

💖 NAME 💖

dvb_register_device — bestie, this is the one that registers a brand new DVB device ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int dvb_register_device (struct dvb_adapter *adap , struct dvb_device
**pdvbdev , const struct dvb_device *template , void *priv , enum
dvb_device_type type , int demux_sink_pads );

okay so real talk, this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's giving main character energy fr fr 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• adap — a pointer to a struct dvb_adapter. that's it, that's the vibe 🫶
• pdvbdev — pointer to the spot where your shiny new struct dvb_device is gonna get stored. like a little parking space for your struct 💅
• template — the template that gets used to create pdvbdev. yes, exactly like a stencil, no cap 🎀
• priv — private data. your personal business, we don't ask 🙈
• type — the type of the device, as defined by enum dvb_device_type. gotta know what kind of icon you are 👑
• demux_sink_pads — number of demux outputs, used to create the TS outputs via the Media Controller. lowkey important, don't skip it ⭐
