vidtv_pmt_desc_assign(9)

💅 vidtv_pmt_desc_assign — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual 😌 and it's about vidtv_pmt_desc_assign(9). yes it's a long name. yes it's important. stay with me.

---

✨ NAME ✨

vidtv_pmt_desc_assign — literally just assigns a descriptor loop at some point in a PMT section. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void vidtv_pmt_desc_assign (struct vidtv_psi_table_pmt *pmt , struct
vidtv_psi_desc **to , struct vidtv_psi_desc *desc );

three pointers, one function, zero return value. it's giving "i do one thing and i do it well" energy 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pmt — the PMT section that will contain the descriptor loop. it's the home, the host, the main character venue 🏠
• to — where in the PMT to assign this descriptor loop to. like, the exact spot. the seat assignment. 🪑
• desc — the descriptor loop that will be assigned. the thing being moved in. 📦

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

bestie, here's the whole vibe: this will free the loop in to, if any. so like, if there was already something living there, it gets evicted first 🙈. then it assigns ownership of the loop to the table — meaning the table will free this loop when a call to its destroy function is made. so the table is now responsible for it, fr fr. it's a whole custody arrangement 👑

heads up: the free-in-to part is real, so don't be out here passing a to you already love and expect it to survive. it won't. 💀
