vidtv_memset(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… vidtv_memset(9) β€” Kernel API Manual, but make it cute πŸŽ€

✨ NAME ✨

vidtv_memset β€” it’s giving β€œwrapper routine” realness, bestie: this one is used by the MPEG-TS generator specifically so we don’t go past the output buffer. No cap. 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u32 vidtv_memset (void *to , size_t to_offset , size_t to_size , const
       int c , size_t len );

πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • to β€” the starting element to set. Like, where the whole glow-up begins. ✨
  • to_offset β€” the starting position of the to buffer that’s gonna be filled.
  • to_size β€” the size of the to buffer. Gotta know the limits, periodt.
  • c β€” the value to set the memory to. The chosen one. πŸ‘‘
  • len β€” the number of elements to be copy from the from buffer into the to+ to_offset buffer. Yes, it said β€œfrom from”, we’re keeping the lore. 😭

πŸ’€ NOTE πŸ’€

Real digital TV demod drivers should not have memset wrappers. We use it here because emulating MPEG-TS generation at kernelspace requires some extra care. It’s lowkey special-case energy, iykyk. πŸ™ˆ

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns the number of bytes written. That’s it, that’s the tea. πŸ’–

Okay that’s the whole page, bestie πŸ’– β€” this icon lives in the Kernel API Manual, the footer’s source/version bit is ./drivers/media/test-drivers/v..., it’s dated October 2026, and it signs off as vidtv_memset(9). Slay. πŸŽ€
