💅 snd_hdac_spd...tream_format(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so welcome to the manual page for snd_hdac_spdif_stream_format, bestie 🫶 this is a Kernel API Manual entry and it's basically the little glow-up station where your format params get turned into an SDxFMT value. no cap, that's the whole gig 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

snd_hdac_spdif_stream_format — convert format parameters to SDxFMT value. that's it, that's the job, and it does it slayfully ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

unsigned int snd_hdac_spdif_stream_format (unsigned int channels ,
       unsigned int bits , unsigned int rate , unsigned short spdif_ctls );

literally four little args in, one unsigned int out. main character energy fr fr 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • channels — the number of channels. how many of them, exactly. count 'em 💅
  • bits — bits per sample. the resolution vibe of each sample 🌈
  • rate — the sample rate. the tempo, the heartbeat, the whole rhythm of it ⭐
  • spdif_ctls — HD-audio SPDIF status bits (0 if irrelevant). if it doesn't matter here, just hand over a 0 and keep it moving 🙈

💜 RETURN 💜

The format bitset — or zero if invalid. so like, if you get a 0 back, that's the function telling you "bestie, no" 😭💀
