dvb_vb2_stream_off(9)

💅 dvb_vb2_stream_off(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-functions girlies) and it's about one very specific little function: dvb_vb2_stream_off. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not renaming it, it's iconic as is. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dvb_vb2_stream_off — the wrapper-to-vb2_core_streamoff() situation for Digital TV buffer handling. that's it, that's the job. it's giving "middle manager who just forwards your email to the right department" but honestly? we love a clean delegation moment. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int dvb_vb2_stream_off (struct dvb_vb2_ctx *ctx );

like, look at her. one argument, returns an int, no drama. 🦋

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ctx — the control struct for the VB2 handler. she's the main character here, the whole vibe check of this call runs through her.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Stops dvb streaming. periodt. 💀 that's the entire description and honestly sometimes lore is short. streaming? over. done. not me ending the stream with a single function call 😭👑
