πΈ NAME πΈ
vpif_g_fmt_vid_cap β Set INPUT handler π«
That's it. That's the whole tagline. Iconic, lowkey, a little mysterious. We respect it.
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
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 π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
the trio, the main characters, the lineup:
fileβ file ptr ποΈ β literally a pointer to the file, that's the whole vibeprivβ file handle π β the private handle situationfmtβ ptr to v4l2 format structure π 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 π

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

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 π§
and that's the tea π sign-off time: this cutie lives at ./drivers/media/platform/ti/daβ¦ (yes, the source path got chopped off with an ellipsis, that's genuinely how it's printed, we're not hiding anything π) and the date on the page is October 2026 βπ. bye bestie, go read those SEE ALSO pages ππ
