vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap(9) β€” like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie πŸŽ€

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Kernel API Manual and you've stumbled onto vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap. Yes it's a whole mouthful, no we're not pronouncing it out loud at a party. Let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap β€” Set INPUT handler πŸ’«

That's it. That's the whole tagline. Iconic, lowkey, a little mysterious. We respect it.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap (struct file *file , void *priv , struct
v4l2_format *fmt );

so it returns an int (classic), and it takes three lil friends in: a file, a priv, and an fmt. absolutely serving function-signature realness 🫢


πŸ‘‘ ARGUMENTS πŸ‘‘

the trio, the main characters, the lineup:

  • file β€” file ptr πŸ—‚οΈ β€” literally a pointer to the file, that's the whole vibe
  • priv β€” file handle πŸ”‘ β€” the private handle situation
  • fmt β€” ptr to v4l2 format structure πŸ“ β€” a pointer to the v4l2 format structure, so it's got opinions about formats

ngl, three args, super chill. a little snack of an API fr fr 🌈


⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long and it ate πŸ’€. The kernel file this lives in is:

and here's the full friend group β€” every single one of them, no cap, nobody left out of the group chat:

like… thirty-one cross-references. she's popular, she's connected, she knows everyone in the media platform directory πŸ’…βœ¨


lowkey a little PSA: this page is short and sweet, so don't go assuming extra behavior that isn't written here β€” the manpage says what it says, and we're just here to make it cute 🧚

and that's the tea πŸ’– sign-off time: this cutie lives at ./drivers/media/platform/ti/da… (yes, the source path got chopped off with an ellipsis, that's genuinely how it's printed, we're not hiding anything πŸ™ˆ) and the date on the page is October 2026 β­πŸ“. bye bestie, go read those SEE ALSO pages πŸ’œπŸŽ€
