v4l2_m2m_get(9)

💖 v4l2_m2m_get(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment 💖

Okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the kernel API manual, this one's called v4l2_m2m_get and it's lowkey a tiny function with main character energy ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

v4l2_m2m_get — take a reference to the m2m_dev structure 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void v4l2_m2m_get (struct v4l2_m2m_dev *m2m_dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• m2m_dev — an opaque pointer to the internal data that handles the M2M context. That's it, that's the whole argument, she's not complicated 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — you use this to share the M2M device across multiple devices. Fr fr, that's the whole point.

And like, why would you even want that? Because this can be used to avoid scheduling two hardware nodes concurrently. Iconic behavior honestly, no cap 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Okay this is the part where the manpage goes feral and lists everything, and we are NOT skipping a single one, periodt 👑
