STRUCT DVB_USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTION(9)

🌸 struct dvb_usb_device_description(9) 🌸

ok so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and honestly this one's a whole vibe — it's the little struct that gives your DVB USB device a name. iykyk 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct dvb_usb_device_description — name and its according USB IDs 🎀

---

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

struct dvb_usb_device_description {
    const char *name;
  #define DVB_USB_ID_MAX_NUM 15;
    const struct usb_device_id *cold_ids[DVB_USB_ID_MAX_NUM];
    const struct usb_device_id *warm_ids[DVB_USB_ID_MAX_NUM];
 };

like yes, that #define is just sitting there inside the struct, we don't make the rules, we just report them 💀

🦋 Members 🦋

• name — the real name of the box, and no cap it does not care which DVB USB device class is in use. the device class does not get a say in its own name, main character energy honestly 👑
• cold_ids — an array of struct usb_device_id that describe the device in its pre-firmware state. like the device before its glow-up ✨
• warm_ids — an array of struct usb_device_id that describe the device in its post-firmware state. post-glow-up, thriving, moisturized 🌈

---

🎀 Description 🎀

Each DVB USB device class can have one or more actual devices, and this struct is the one that assigns a name to it. that's it, that's the job — naming rights, iconic behavior, periodt 🫶

ok that's the whole page bestie, go read the source, it's literally right there in ./drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb 🔥

mwah 💋 — this little transmission came from the ./drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb neighborhood, dropped in October 2026, and it answers to the name struct dvb_..._description(9) 💜 slay
