STRUCT DVB_NET_IF(9)

💖 struct dvb_net_if(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes we're in the kernel docs now, and yes this one's actually cute and small. It's giving "short but iconic." Let's go 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct dvb_net_if — literally describes a DVB network interface 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct dvb_net_if {
    __u16 pid;
    __u16 if_num;
    __u8 feedtype;
  #define DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_MPE 0  ;
  #define DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_ULE 1  ;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. copy it exactly, she's delicate 🎀

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• pid — the Packet ID (PID) of the MPEG-TS that's carrying the data 🍓
• if_num — the number of the Digital TV interface. yep, just a number ✨
• feedtype — the encapsulation type of the feed. this is the main character of the struct ngl 👑

---

🌈 Description 🌈

so here's the vibe: an MPEG-TS stream can absolutely just have packet IDs with IP packages sitting on them, iykyk. This struct describes exactly that, plus the type of encoding being used 💖

feedtype can be either of these two besties:

• DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_MPE for MPE encoding 🌸
• DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_ULE for ULE encoding 🦋

that's it. that's the whole description. short, sweet, slayed 💅
