💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is intel_infoframes(1) from the General Commands Manual — a tool for viewing and changing HDMI InfoFrames. Slay. ✨

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

intel_infoframes [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

intel_infoframes is the tool you use to view and change the HDMI InfoFrames sent by the GPU. Its main purpose is literally to be a debugging tool — no cap. 🙈

Heads up, bestie: in some cases (e.g., when changing modes) the Kernel will undo the changes made by this tool. So yeah, your edits can get ghosted by the kernel. 💀

Descriptions of the InfoFrame fields can be found on the HDMI and CEA-861 specifications. iykyk 📚

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — Display comprehensive help on the tool. Periodt. 💅

🫶 LIMITATIONS 🫶

Not all HDMI monitors respect the InfoFrames sent to them — rude, honestly. 😭 Only GEN 4 or newer hardware is supported yet. 🎀
