STRUCT MEDIA_INTERFACE(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

hey bestie 💖 welcome to the group chat for struct media_interface(9) from the Kernel API Manual. she's literally a media interface graph object, and the graph-object lore is real.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct media_interface - A media interface graph object. that's the whole name, periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay bestie, here's the struct in all her main-character glory:

struct media_interface {
    struct media_gobj               graph_obj;
    struct list_head                links;
    u32 type;
    u32 flags;
 };

that's it, that's the shape 🦋

🫶 Members 🫶

let's do a vibe check on every member, one by one:

  • graph_obj — embedded graph object. she lives inside the graph, as one does.
  • links — List of links pointing to graph entities. not a situationship — an actual list of links 💖
  • type — Type of the interface as defined in include/uapi/linux/media.h (the <media_header> ref) — seek for MEDIA_INTF_T_*. iykyk.
  • flags — Interface flags as defined in include/uapi/linux/media.h (the <media_header> ref) — seek for MEDIA_INTF_FL_*. tiny detail, keep it.

💜 Description 💜

okay so the description is basically one very important note, and it's giving pay attention:

NOTE: Currently, no flags for media_interface is defined.

so yeah — the flags member is right there in the struct, and the note says no flags for media_interface is currently defined. don't go inventing any 🙈
