STRUCT UVC_COPY_OP(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct uvc_copy_op(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (Kernel API Manual, yes that's the manual name, we're being fancy today πŸ’…) and it's all about a lil struct that literally just holds the vibe of an async memcpy. no cap.


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct uvc_copy_op β€” the context structure you use to schedule an asynchronous memcpy. it's giving "I hold your info so the copy can happen later, on its own time, main character energy" 🫢


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct uvc_copy_op {
    struct uvc_buffer *buf;
    void *dst;
    const __u8 *src;
    size_t len;
 };

like, that's the whole struct. four fields. iconic. no filler, no bloat, just vibes and pointers ✨


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • buf β€” the active buf object for this operation. this is the buffer that's currently doing its thing for this copy, iykyk πŸ’–
  • dst β€” the copy destination address. where the bytes are going. destination era 🌈
  • src β€” the copy source address. where the bytes are coming from. source era πŸ¦‹
  • len β€” the copy length. how much we're copying, fr fr πŸ“
ngl, this is a struct so every member is a field you fill in β€” buf, dst, src, len, all four, no skipping πŸ™ˆ

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

  • Kernel file ./drivers/media/usb/uvc/uvcvideo.h β€” the header where this whole situation lives πŸ’œ
  • struct uvc_urb(9) β€” its neighbor, go read that one too bestie πŸ‘‘

and that's the page!! πŸŽ‰ this beauty comes to you from ./drivers/media/usb/uvc, dated October 2026 β€” so like, future-coded of it, we love to see it πŸ’« mwah, go forth and copy asynchronously πŸ§šβ€β™€οΈπŸ“
