STRUCT CAMIF_FMT(9)

💅 struct camif_fmt(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, you open the Kernel API Manual, and there it is — struct camif_fmt(9). it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities." let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct camif_fmt — literally just a pixel format description. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct camif_fmt {
    u32 fourcc;
    u32 color;
    u16 colplanes;
    u16 flags;
    u8 depth;
    u8 ybpp;
 };

look at her. six fields. perfectly balanced. main character energy fr fr 💜

👑 Members 👑

time to meet the cast, one field at a time 💖

• fourcc — the fourcc code for this format. and if it's not applicable? it's 0. zero. nothing. a void. we respect that 🙈
• color — a corresponding enum img_fmt. that's the whole job. slay ✨
• colplanes — the number of physically contiguous data planes. physically contiguous, like your besties at lunch 🍓
• flags — these bad boys indicate for which SoCs revisions this format is valid. iykyk — not every SoC gets an invite to the party 💅
• depth — bits per pixel (total). the whole thing. the full picture. no crumbs 🌈
• ybpp — the number of luminance bytes per pixel. yes, specifically luminance. she's specific and we love that ⭐

okay that's the whole page, you ate that 💀👑

signed, sealed, delivered with love from the kernel source at ./drivers/media/platform/samsu... — October 2026 edition 🧚 and yes, the manpage footer still says struct camif_fmt(9) at the end because some things never change 💜🫶
