✨ vimc_is_source 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the vimc_is_source(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's a little baby function but it's iconic. Let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

vimc_is_source — returns true if the entity has only source pads

Like, that's it. That's the whole vibe check. It looks at your entity and goes "hmm, do you only have source pads? yes or no." No cap. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool vimc_is_source (struct media_entity *ent);

Yup. One argument, returns a bool. Simple. Clean. Ate. 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ent — pointer to struct media_entity — this is the entity you're asking about, bestie. Hand it over and the function will tell you if it's a source-only situation. 🫶
