STRUCT DVB_FRONTEND(9)

💖 struct dvb_frontend(9) 💖

okay so this is the struct dvb_frontend page from the Kernel API Manual — it’s literally the frontend structure you use on drivers, bestie. No cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct dvb_frontend — Frontend structure to be used on drivers. That’s the whole vibe check: frontend struct, drivers, iconic. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct dvb_frontend {
           struct kref refcount;
           struct dvb_frontend_ops ops;
           struct dvb_adapter *dvb;
           void *demodulator_priv;
           void *tuner_priv;
           void *frontend_priv;
           void *sec_priv;
           void *analog_demod_priv;
           struct dtv_frontend_properties dtv_property_cache;
         #define DVB_FRONTEND_COMPONENT_TUNER 0;
         #define DVB_FRONTEND_COMPONENT_DEMOD 1;
           int (*callback)(void *adapter_priv, int component, int cmd, int
       arg);
           int id;
           unsigned int exit;
        };
