STRUCT VIDTV_PSI_PAT_WRITE_ARGS(9)

💖 struct vidtv_psi_pat_write_args — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, this is a little struct page from the kernel docs, and honestly it's giving "plumbing that makes the whole thing work" energy. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct vidtv_psi_pat_write_args — literally just the args you hand over when you're writing a PAT table. that's it, that's the vibe 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct vidtv_psi_pat_write_args {
    char *buf;
    u32 offset;
    struct vidtv_psi_table_pat *pat;
    u32 buf_sz;
    u8 *continuity_counter;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

like a little friend group, except every member here is a field. no cap, let's meet them 💅

• buf — the destination buffer, aka where all the writing actually lands. it's the spot 🫶
• offset — how far into that destination buffer you're starting. like skipping ahead in the group chat 📍
• pat — a pointer to the PAT. yes, THE PAT. main character energy honestly 👑
• buf_sz — the size of the destination buffer. know your limits bestie, this is the limit 🌈
• continuity_counter — a pointer to the CC. and heads up: it gets incremented on every new packet. every single one. it's keeping count 😭
