π NAME π
struct dvb_frontend_internal_info β literally the glow-up cheat sheet for a frontend's properties and capabilities β¨

πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
okay so here's the whole struct, character for character, do NOT let me catch you retyping it from memory:
struct dvb_frontend_internal_info {
char name[128];
u32 frequency_min_hz;
u32 frequency_max_hz;
u32 frequency_stepsize_hz;
u32 frequency_tolerance_hz;
u32 symbol_rate_min;
u32 symbol_rate_max;
u32 symbol_rate_tolerance;
enum fe_caps caps;
};
look at her. icon. π
π Members π
a member-by-member vibe check, one at a time, no skipping:
nameβ the name of the frontend. that's it, that's the whole personality π«Άfrequency_min_hzβ the minimal frequency supported by the frontend.frequency_max_hzβ minimal frequency supported by the frontend. π and before you come for me: yes bestie, that is word for word what the page says β I'm just the messenger, I don't write the docs, I only make them cute πfrequency_stepsize_hzβ every frequency is a multiple of this value. like, all of them. no rogue frequencies allowed β¨frequency_tolerance_hzβ the frequency tolerance.symbol_rate_minβ minimal symbol rate, in bauds (for Cable/Satellite systems).symbol_rate_maxβ maximal symbol rate, in bauds (for Cable/Satellite systems).symbol_rate_toleranceβ maximal symbol rate tolerance, in ppm (for Cable/Satellite systems). ppm!! she's precise!! π§capsβ the capabilities supported by the frontend, as specified inenum fe_caps. this is the main character field ngl π
