πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

struct dvb_frontend_internal_info β€” literally the glow-up cheat sheet for a frontend's properties and capabilities ✨

(this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie β€” that's the manual name, we're in kernel-land now 🐧)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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. πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

a member-by-member vibe check, one at a time, no skipping:

  • name β€” the name of the frontend. that's it, that's the whole personality 🫢
  • frequency_min_hz β€” the minimal frequency supported by the frontend.
  • frequency_max_hz β€” minimal frequency supported by the frontend. πŸ™ˆ 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 πŸ’…
  • frequency_stepsize_hz β€” every frequency is a multiple of this value. like, all of them. no rogue frequencies allowed ✨
  • frequency_tolerance_hz β€” the frequency tolerance.
  • symbol_rate_min β€” minimal symbol rate, in bauds (for Cable/Satellite systems).
  • symbol_rate_max β€” maximal symbol rate, in bauds (for Cable/Satellite systems).
  • symbol_rate_tolerance β€” maximal symbol rate tolerance, in ppm (for Cable/Satellite systems). ppm!! she's precise!! 🧚
  • caps β€” the capabilities supported by the frontend, as specified in enum fe_caps. this is the main character field ngl πŸ‘‘
