dvb_registe...a_controller(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this one is dvb_registe...a_controller(9) and it does exactly one iconic thing: it registers a media controller at a DVB adapter. that's the whole vibe. short king behavior, honestly 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, the entire signature, no notes:

void dvb_register_media_controller (struct dvb_adapter *adap , struct media_device *mdev );

it returns void — meaning it gives you nothing back and expects you to be cool about it. and you will be 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

two pointers, two besties, both required:

• adap — pointer to struct dvb_adapter. this is the DVB adapter in question, the main character of the operation 🦋
• mdev — pointer to struct media_device. the media device you're handing over to get registered, no cap

---

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this list is long long, so buckle up, we're going shopping 🛍️ — first the source of truth:

• Kernel file ./include/media/dvbdev.h

and then the whole friend group:

• enum dvb_device_type(9)
• struct dvb_adapter(9)
• struct dvb_device(9)
• struct dvbdevfops_node(9)
• dvb_device_get(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_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)

genuinely obsessed with how many of these there are. read them all, iykyk 📚🔥

ngl the manpage title gets truncated to dvb_registe...a_controller(9) and tbh that's giving dramatic pause. it's dvb_register_media_controller, she just got cut off mid-sentence 😭

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 — straight from ./include/media, dated October 2026, wearing the title dvb_registe...a_controller(9). go register something, you absolute icon ⭐👑💜
