emulate_delivery_system(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to emulate_delivery_system(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this one is literally about faking a DVBv5 delivery system so it looks like a DVBv3 type — no cap, it's giving compatibility icon energy 🫶

emulate_delivery_system — emulate a DVBv5 delivery system with a DVBv3 type ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int emulate_delivery_system (struct dvb_frontend *fe , u32 delsys );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fe — a struct frontend; — yes queen, that's the frontend struct we're working with 💖
• delsys — the DVBv5 type that will be used for emulation 🌈

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So here's the vibe: this bad boy provides emulation for delivery systems that are compatible with the old DVBv3 call 🔥

Among its usages, it provides support for ISDB-T, and it allows using a DVB-S2 only frontend just like it were a DVB-S — but only if the frontend parameters are compatible with the DVB-S spec 👑 that's the important part, bestie, don't skip it 🫶
