💅 fimc_active_queue_pop(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and this one is literally called fimc_active_queue_pop — say that five times fast, i dare you 🫶 it's not that deep, it's a tiny little helper that yoinks a buffer off the capture active buffers queue. periodt.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fimc_active_queue_pop — pop buffer from the capture active buffers queue 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct fimc_vid_buffer * fimc_active_queue_pop (struct fimc_vid_cap
*vid_cap );

like, it returns a struct fimc_vid_buffer * and takes exactly one thing. iconic, no notes 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vid_cap — camera capture device information 📷 — this is the whole vibe, the capture device you're pulling from.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The caller must assure the active_buf_q list is not empty.

⚠️ okay so this is the important part and i need you to listen: you (the caller) have to make sure active_buf_q isn't empty before you call this. nobody's checking for you. no cap. if you roll up on an empty list that's a you problem, not a this-function problem 😭
