STRUCT DVB_RC(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct dvb_rc — bestie, this is literally the properties of a remote controller, and it's using rc-core ✨ no cap

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct dvb_rc {
    char *rc_codes;
    u64 protocol;
    u64 allowed_protos;
    enum rc_driver_type driver_type;
    int (*change_protocol)(struct rc_dev *dev, u64 *rc_proto);
    char *module_name;
    int (*rc_query) (struct dvb_usb_device *d);
    int rc_interval;
    bool bulk_mode;
    u32 scancode_mask;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

Okay so this is the part where we meet the whole squad ✨ every single field, and they ALL matter:

• rc_codes — the name of the rc codes table 🫶 that's it, that's the vibe
• protocol — the type of protocol(s) currently used by the driver 👑 like, what protocol is this driver on rn
• allowed_protos — the protocol(s) supported by the driver 💅 so this is the allowed list, not the "currently in use" list, iykyk
• driver_type — used to point if a device supports raw mode 😭 literally that's its whole job
• change_protocol — callback to change protocol 🦋 yes it's a callback, yes it's that girl
• module_name — module name 🎀
• rc_query — called to query an event event. 💀 (yes, the word "event" is in there twice, that's just how the manpage said it, and honestly? iconic)
• rc_interval — time in ms between two queries ⏱️ milliseconds, not vibes
• bulk_mode — device supports bulk mode for RC (disable polling mode) 🔥 okay so this one actually turns polling mode OFF, highkey important
• scancode_mask — scancode mask 🌈 exactly what it sounds like

Okay bye ily, this page came from ./drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb, dated October 2026, and the manpage itself is called struct dvb_rc(9) — stan it, remember it, and go read those SEE ALSOs 🙈💖
