πŸ’… struct rvin_video_format(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this is the page for struct rvin_video_format, and no cap it's a tiny little icon. πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct rvin_video_format β€” the data format stored in memory πŸ’Ύβœ¨ literally what the pixels look like when they're chilling in RAM.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the whole vibe, character for character, do not touch:

struct rvin_video_format {
    u32 fourcc;
    u8 bpp;
 };

like… that's it. two fields. it's giving minimalism and honestly? obsessed. πŸ‘‘

  • fourcc β€” the pixelformat 🌈 iykyk, the four-character code that tells you what flavour of pixels we're dealing with.
  • bpp β€” bytes per pixel πŸ’… the per-pixel byte count, fr fr. not bits, bestie β€” bytes. πŸ“
