img_ir_set_decoder(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 img_ir_set_decoder(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual — this one's a lil function from the img-ir drivers, and honestly? she's short but she's powerful. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

img_ir_set_decoder — sets the current decoder. that's it. that's the whole vibe. she swaps in whichever decoder is supposed to be running right now, and she does it with immediate effect 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void img_ir_set_decoder (struct img_ir_priv *priv , const struct
       img_ir_decoder *decoder , u64 proto );

like yeah it returns void — she doesn't gossip back, she just does the thing 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • priv — the IR private data. the personal stash. the main character struct everything hangs off of 💜
  • decoder — the decoder to use, and bestie listen: with immediate effect. not "next time", not "after a reboot", now. 🔥
  • proto — a protocol bitmap. and if you pass 0, she'll lowkey just fall back to decoder->type instead. iykyk 🎀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/media/rc/img-ir/img-ir-hw.c — go read it if you're feeling nerdy, no judgment 🌈. and here's the whole friend group, all of them, in order, not skipping a single one:

✨ friendly reminder: decoder takes effect immediately, so don't be out here passing something half-baked and then acting surprised. 🫶

and that's the page, bestie 🍓💖 this one's brought to you by the source at ./drivers/media/rc/img-ir, dated October 2026 — see you in the next img_ir_set_decoder(9) era, mwah 💋🧚‍♀️
