fimc_lite_find_format(9)

💅 fimc_lite_find_format(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's basically the little matchmaker function that goes looking for a fimc color format by its fourcc or media bus code. think of it as the vibe-check bouncer for pixel formats 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

fimc_lite_find_format — lookup fimc color format by fourcc or media bus code

like, literally. it finds formats. that's the whole job. no cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const struct fimc_fmt * fimc_lite_find_format (const u32 *pixelformat ,
const u32 *mbus_code , unsigned int mask , int index );

she returns a const struct fimc_fmt * and takes four args — we're gonna go through every single one, don't worry 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pixelformat — the fourcc to match. it's a pointer, and if it's null it's just ignored, like genuinely not invited to the function's party 🙈
• mbus_code — the media bus code to match. also a pointer, also ignored if null. equal treatment, we love to see it 💖
• mask — the color format flags to match. this is the strictness setting, iykyk ⭐
• index — index into the fimc_lite_formats array. key detail bestie: ignored if negative 💀 so like, negative numbers get no say here

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

Kernel file ./drivers/media/platform/samsung/exynos4-is/fimc-lite.c — that's the main character, go read it 🔥

---

fr fr the one rule of this function: null pointer? ignored. negative index? ignored. she's very chill about it, but mask still expects an actual match, so don't get it twisted 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie — slay 🌈
