media_entity_find_link(9)

💖 media_entity_find_link(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to media_entity_find_link(9) from the Kernel API Manual — section 9, kernel-core energy, and it's literally about finding a link between two pads. No cap, this one's short and cute. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

media_entity_find_link — Find a link between two pads, periodt. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct media_link * media_entity_find_link (struct media_pad *source ,
struct media_pad *sink );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• source — Source pad, the one on the source side of the vibe check 💖
• sink — Sink pad, the one on the sink side 🫶

✨ RETURN ✨

It returns a pointer to the link between the two entities. If no such link exists, return NULL — that's the whole mood. 😭
