media_pipeline_for_each_pad(9)

✨ NAME ✨

media_pipeline_for_each_pad — Iterate on all pads in a media pipeline 💅

okay so bestie, this is the media_pipeline_for_each_pad(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s lowkey a little baddie for walking every pad in a pipeline 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

media_pipeline_for_each_pad (pipe , iter , pad );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pipe — The pipeline. yes, the whole pipeline, main character energy 💖
• iter — The iterator (struct media_pipeline_pad_iter). this is the little iterator buddy doing the walking ✨
• pad — The iterator pad. the pad currently getting looked at, periodt.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Iterate on all pads in a media pipeline. that’s the whole vibe: every pad gets a turn 💅 no cap.

🚨 caveat bestie: this is only valid after the pipeline has been built with media_pipeline_start and before it gets destroyed with media_pipeline_stop. do not come for this iteration outside that window, fr fr — it’s not the move.
