💅 hdmi_infoframe_unpack(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual moment for hdmi_infoframe_unpack(9) — it’s giving “turn that raw HDMI bytes situation into actual structure” energy, and we’re gonna get into it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

hdmi_infoframe_unpack — unpack binary buffer to a HDMI infoframe 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hdmi_infoframe_unpack (union hdmi_infoframe *frame , const void
*buffer , size_t size );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • frame — HDMI infoframe 👑
  • buffer — source buffer 🫶
  • size — size of buffer ⭐

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So here’s the vibe: this function unpacks the information contained in binary buffer buffer into a structured frame of a HDMI infoframe. Literally converting the raw-buffer situation into the structured frame, no cap ✨

It also verifies the checksum as required by section 5.3.5 of the HDMI 1.4 specification. Like yes, checksum check is part of the assignment, periodt 💅

Returns 0 on success or a negative error code on failure. That’s the whole return situation, bestie — success is 0, failure is a negative error code 😭
