STRUCT PES_WRITE_ARGS(9)

struct pes_write_args(9) 🎀✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct pes_write_args(9) — yes, manual name folded in right here, no boring header repeat. This is the packetizer-args struct, and it's giving organized little data bundle. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct pes_write_args — Arguments for the packetizer. That's the whole name, no cap. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct pes_write_args {
    void *dest_buf;
    void *from;
    u32 access_unit_len;
    u32 dest_offset;
    u32 dest_buf_sz;
    u16 pid;
    u32 encoder_id;
    u8 *continuity_counter;
    u16 stream_id;
    bool send_pts;
    u64 pts;
    bool send_dts;
    u64 dts;
    u32 n_pes_h_s_bytes;
    u64 pcr;
};

fields in order, exactly as they are — that's the vibe check passed. 🎀

💖 Members 💖

Member-by-member, here's the tea:

• dest_buf — the buffer we're writing into. 🫶
• from — a pointer to the encoder buffer that's holding one access unit. ✨
• access_unit_len — the size of one access unit (plus any headers it might need). 🎀
• dest_offset — where to start writing in the dest_buffer. 🦋
• dest_buf_sz — the size of the dest_buffer. 🌸
• pid — the PID to use for the TS packets. 💅
• encoder_id — encoder id (see vidtv_encoder.h). 😭
• continuity_counter — incremented on every new TS packet. 🔥
• stream_id — the stream id to use. Ex: Audio streams (0xc0-0xdf), Video streams (0xe0-0xef). 👑
• send_pts — should we send PTS? 👀
• pts — the PTS value to send. 🌈
• send_dts — should we send DTS? ⭐
• dts — the DTS value to send. 💀
• n_pes_h_s_bytes — padding bytes — an encoder might use them if needed, and the decoder discards them. 🙈
• pcr — a counter driven by a 27Mhz clock. 🍓
