STRUCT VIDTV_MUX_TIMING(9)

🎀 struct vidtv_mux_timing(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct vidtv_mux_timing — it's a kernel struct page, and we're gonna read it together like it's the group chat 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct vidtv_mux_timing — timing related information 🕐✨ and honestly? that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vidtv_mux_timing {
    u64 start_jiffies;
    u64 current_jiffies;
    u64 past_jiffies;
    u64 clk;
    u64 pcr_period_usecs;
    u64 si_period_usecs;
 };

six u64 fields, all just chillin' in one struct, no cap 💀

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• start_jiffies — the value of jiffies at the moment we started the mux thread ⏱️ like the timestamp of when the whole thing kicked off, iconic beginning energy ✨
• current_jiffies — the value of jiffies for the current iteration 🔁 this one's the main character of right now.
• past_jiffies — the value of jiffies for the past iteration 🕰️ it's giving nostalgia, it's giving "last time on…".
• clk — a 27Mhz clock from which we will drive the PCR 🔥 and it gets updated proportionally on every iteration, so it's always keeping up, lowkey obsessed with its consistency 💖
• pcr_period_usecs — how often we should send PCR packets 📦⏳ that's the whole personality of this field honestly.
• si_period_usecs — how often we should send PSI packets 📨⏳ same energy, different packet.

---

💜 Description 💜

so this struct is literally the decision-maker 🧠✨ it's used to decide when PCR or PSI packets should be sent. that's the job. and on top of that, it also provides storage for the clock 🕐 which is then used to compute the value for the PCR — so it's doing double duty and honestly, slay 🫶
