📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 v4l2_m2m_mark_stopped — the vibe check for "we're done here" ✨

Okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has a manual, she's fancy like that 🎀) and it's about one tiny little function that flips the current encoding/decoding state over to stopped. That's it. That's the whole gig. Let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

v4l2_m2m_mark_stopped — sets the current encoding/decoding state as stopped, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void v4l2_m2m_mark_stopped (struct v4l2_m2m_ctx *m2m_ctx );

Not me copy-pasting this exactly — okay yes I am, but literally the whole signature is that one line, it's giving minimalism icon 👑

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • m2m_ctx — the m2m context that's assigned to the instance, and it's given to you as a struct v4l2_m2m_ctx. Like, that's the only thing you hand her. One argument, zero drama 🙈

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Okay so the original page lists the kernel file ./include/media/v4l2-mem2mem.h and then literally the entire friend group 😭 — structs and functions, all with (9) after them, all lowercase, all iconic. Here's the whole squad, no one gets left behind:

No cap, that list is long. But every single one of them is real, so scroll responsibly 🧚

Okay that's the whole page, love you, bye 🫶✨

This little gem lives in ./include/media and the version vibes are dated October 2026 — so like, from the future?? Main character energy fr fr 💜👑
