STRUCT HELENE_CONFIG(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct helene_config(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual, but make it make sense πŸŽ€

okay so bestie, you're looking at a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the big-league kernel interface section, iykyk). Buckle up πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

struct helene_config β€” literally just the configuration of the 'Helene' tuner driver. that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸ’–


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the struct, copied exactly, do NOT come for me:

struct helene_config {
    u8 i2c_address;
    u8 xtal_freq_mhz;
    void *set_tuner_priv;
    int (*set_tuner_callback)(void *, int);
    enum helene_xtal xtal;
    struct dvb_frontend *fe;
 };

like... look at her. main character struct energy fr fr πŸ‘‘


🫢 Members 🫢

the individual members, one by one, because every single one of them matters:

  • i2c_address β€” the I2C address of the tuner. where you find her on the bus. that's her address, respect it 🏠
  • xtal_freq_mhz β€” the oscillator frequency, in MHz. the heartbeat, basically πŸ’“
  • set_tuner_priv β€” the private context for the callback function. it's giving "plus one, but for data" πŸ™ˆ
  • set_tuner_callback β€” a callback function that notifies the parent driver which tuner is active right now. she's a gossip, she tells the parent everything πŸ’¬
  • xtal β€” the crystal frequency, as described by enum helene_xtal. (the original page spells it "Cristal" and honestly? iconic spelling, we stan a typo πŸ’€). anyway it's the oscillator vibe expressed as an enum ✨
  • fe β€” the frontend that this tuner connects to. the link-up. the situationship πŸ”—

lowkey reminder: this is kernel driver territory β€” get the members right or nothing tunes. highkey respect the hardware 🌈

okay that's the whole page, you ate that πŸ“ this masterpiece lives in ./drivers/media/dvb-frontends, brought to you by the October 2026 era of the Kernel API Manual, and it's struct helene_config(9) forever and always πŸ’…β­
