STRUCT AMVDEC_OPS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct amvdec_ops — the vdec operations, bestie. It's the little struct of function pointers that tells your vdec how to do its thing ✨ (this is from the Kernel API Manual, in case you were wondering 🫶)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so here's the whole shape of it, no cap:

struct amvdec_ops {
    int (*start)(struct amvdec_session *sess);
    int (*stop)(struct amvdec_session *sess);
    void (*conf_esparser)(struct amvdec_session *sess);
    u32 (*vififo_level)(struct amvdec_session *sess);
 };

like, four function pointers, four jobs, all of them mandatory — yes ALL of them, we'll get there 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

• start — the mandatory call for when the vdec needs to initialize 🌱 like it's waking up and getting ready, main character energy fr
• stop — the mandatory call for when the vdec needs to stop 🛑 the closing-time vibe, someone has to do it
• conf_esparser — the mandatory call that lets the vdec configure the ESPARSER 🔧 lowkey essential, it's giving setup era
• vififo_level — the mandatory call to get the current amount of data sitting in the VIFIFO 🍓 it's a u32, it's a level check, it's literally the vibe check of the VIFIFO

💀 heads up bestie: every single one of these is described as a mandatory call in the source. Not optional, not "if you feel like it", mandatory. periodt.
