📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 v4l2_rect_map_inside — a ✨ Kernel API Manual ✨ moment

okay bestie so real talk, this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's called v4l2_rect_map_inside (that (9) is just the kernel-doc section vibe, iykyk). And the whole entire personality of this function is literally in one line: r should be inside boundary. that's it. that's the tweet. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void v4l2_rect_map_inside (struct v4l2_rect *r , const struct v4l2_rect *boundary );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copy it exactly, don't get cute with it 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • r — the rect that will be modified 👈 like, this one gets changed. it's the main character of this operation and it will be edited, so don't be weird about it afterwards.
  • boundary — the rect that contains the boundary for r 💖 she's the rule-setter, the vibe check, the container. r is supposed to behave itself inside her.
ngl there are exactly two arguments here, so if you were bracing for a long list of options… there isn't one, babes. two pointers, that's the whole meal. 🍓

the kernel file for all this is ./include/media/v4l2-rect.h — that's the home base 🏠✨ and here's the whole friend group, all of them (9)ers, all of them iconic:

💀 quick disclaimer: this page gives you the signature, the two arguments and the squad. it does not hand you a description section, a return value, or an options list — so i'm not gonna manifest any of those out of thin air. what you see is what's documented. periodt.

and that's the page!! 🧚 signed off from ./include/media, dated October 2026, version v4l2_rect_map_inside(9) — mwah 💋 go keep your rects inside their boundaries, bestie, slay 💜
