💅 struct vidtv_psi_pmt_write_args(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct from the vidtv crew and honestly it's giving "glorified argument bag" but in a slay way 🎀 it's literally just the bundle of stuff you gotta hand over when you're writing a PMT section, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

struct vidtv_psi_pmt_write_args — the arguments for writing a PMT section 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vidtv_psi_pmt_write_args {
    char *buf;
    u32 offset;
    struct vidtv_psi_table_pmt *pmt;
    u16 pid;
    u32 buf_sz;
    u8 *continuity_counter;
    u16 pcr_pid;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so member by member, here's the tea ☕

  • buf — the destination buffer, like where the good stuff lands 💖
  • offset — the offset into the destination buffer, i.e. where in buf we're starting, ikyk 👑
  • pmt — a pointer to the PMT, the main character of this whole operation 🌟
  • pid — the Program ID 🆔
  • buf_sz — the size of the destination buffer, gotta know how much room we got bestie 📏
  • continuity_counter — a pointer to the CC (continuity counter); it gets incremented on every new packet 🔥 so yeah, it's tracking the vibes packet by packet
  • pcr_pid — the TS PID used for the PSI packets. All channels will share the same PCR, fr fr 💀
