stb6000_attach(9)

✨ stb6000_attach(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a tiny one but it's kind of iconic. it's about stb6000_attach, which is a function that hooks a stb6000 tuner up to a frontend structure you already have. it's giving "matchmaker for hardware" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

stb6000_attach — attach a stb6000 tuner to the supplied frontend structure 🫶

like, you bring the tuner, you bring the frontend, and this function makes the introduction. no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct dvb_frontend * stb6000_attach (struct dvb_frontend *fe , int addr
, struct i2c_adapter *i2c );

that's the whole signature, and yes bestie, it returns a struct dvb_frontend *. it also takes a struct dvb_frontend *fe, an int addr, and a struct i2c_adapter *i2c. three args, one return, we love a clean little function 😭✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• fe — the frontend you're attaching to. this is the main character here 👑
• addr — the i2c address of the tuner. literally just where the tuner lives on the bus 📍
• i2c — the i2c adapter to use. the vibe check for which bus we're talking over 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get the FE pointer on success 💖 and NULL on failure 💀. that's it. that's the whole deal.

lowkey important: NULL means it did not work, so please actually check it, bestie 🙈
