v4l2_prio_init(9)

💖 v4l2_prio_init(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this little page is literally all about v4l2_prio_init, and it's short and sweet, so grab your boba and let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

v4l2_prio_init — initializes a struct v4l2_prio_state

like, it sets the whole priority state up from scratch. that's the entire personality. no cap. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void v4l2_prio_init (struct v4l2_prio_state *global );

it returns void btw — so don't go looking for a return value, there isn't one, periodt 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• global — pointer to struct v4l2_prio_state. yes that's the whole list. one (1) argument. she's low-maintenance and we love that for her 👑

ngl, if you were expecting a dozen params, this is not that page. it's giving "just hand me the pointer and I'll handle it" energy 🦋

---

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is where it goes OFF — the cross-reference list is long, so buckle up, bestie:

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, iconic, and to the point 🌟

cute little sign-off: this one lives in ./include/media, dated October 2026, and it's from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name folded in near the top, you're welcome 💜). take care of those priority states, mwah 🍓🧚‍♀️
