✨ NAME ✨

v4l2_m2m_clear_state — literally just clears the encoding/decoding state. that's the whole vibe check 💫

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void v4l2_m2m_clear_state (struct v4l2_m2m_ctx *m2m_ctx );
not me pointing out the tiny space before that closing paren 💀 it's in the original, we respect the original, we do NOT touch it 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • m2m_ctx — the m2m context that's been assigned to the instance, given to us by struct v4l2_m2m_ctx. it's giving "this is the thing you hand me so i can do the thing" energy 👑
