STRUCT VIMC_PIX_MAP(9)

💅 struct vimc_pix_map(9)

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie, we're doing struct docs today and honestly this one is a little cutie 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct vimc_pix_map — literally the thing that maps a media bus code to a v4l2 pixel format 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vimc_pix_map {
    unsigned int code[VIMC_PIX_FMT_MAX_CODES];
    unsigned int bpp;
    u32 pixelformat;
    bool bayer;
 };

---

👑 Members 👑

• code — the media bus format code, and it's defined by the MEDIA_BUS_FMT_* macros 💫
• bpp — number of bytes each pixel occupies, yes that's the bytes-per-pixel count, no cap 🧚
• pixelformat — the pixel format, defined by the V4L2_PIX_FMT_* macros 🔥
• bayer — true if this is a bayer format 🙈

---

💖 Description 💖

So this struct is the matchmaker 🫶 it takes the MEDIA_BUS_FMT_* codes and matches them up with the corresponding V4L2_PIX_FMT_* fourcc pixelformat plus its bytes per pixel (bpp). it's giving matchmaker energy fr fr, iconic behavior 💅
