STRUCT HDR_SINK_METADATA(9)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay so welcome to the struct hdr_sink_metadata(9) page, bestie — this one is from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about HDR sink metadata. That's the name, that's the vibe: struct hdr_sink_metadata - HDR sink metadata. ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct hdr_sink_metadata {
    __u32 metadata_type;
    union {
      struct hdr_static_metadata hdmi_type1;
    };
 };

No cap, that's the whole struct shape. 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

• metadata_type — this is the ID value: Static_Metadata_Descriptor_ID. Literally the ID field, periodt.
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous. That's the whole note for the unnamed union, bestie; it stays anonymous. 🙈
• hdmi_type1 — HDR Metadata Infoframe. This is the struct hdr_static_metadata member sitting inside that union, and its description is exactly HDR Metadata Infoframe. 👑

🌸 Description 🌸

Metadata Information read from Sink's EDID. That's it — the entire description, no extra lore, no side quest. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• Kernel file ./include/linux/hdmi.h
• union hdmi_infoframe(9)

That's the whole see-also list, iykyk. 🧚
