🎀 KDK_EDID_GET_YEAR(3) 🎀

okay so bestie, you've wandered into section 3 of the manual, which is the part where we talk about library functions — specifically the libkyedid girlies. this one's called kdk_edid_get_year, and she's here to tell you what year your monitor was born. yes, literally. your screen has a birthday. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

kdk_edid_get_year — 获取显示器的生产日期/年

translation for the girlies who don't read Chinese: she gets the manufacturing date (year) of your display. iconic of her.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libkyedid.h>

extern int kdk_edid_get_year(char *name);

and don't forget to Link with -lkyedid or she simply will not show up. no cap. 🔗

💬 Detailed Description 💬

The main function of the interface is to obtain the manufacturing date (year) of the screen. that's it. that's her whole job. she does one thing and she ate. ✨

The argument name is the current interface of the screen — like, the handle of the display you're asking about. pass it in and she'll spill the year.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

  • On success — returns the screen manufacturing date (year) of type int. slay 💚
  • On error — returns -1. she said no. 😭

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

here's the whole vibe in one program, bestie — she prints everything about every interface she can find:

#include "libkyedid.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char** name = kdk_edid_get_interface();
    size_t count = 0;
    while (name[count])
    {
        printf("当前接口 = %s0, name[count]);
        float gamma = kdk_edid_get_gamma(name[count]);
        printf("gamma = %0.2f0, gamma);
        float size = kdk_edid_get_size(name[count]);
        printf("size = %0.1f0, size);
        char *max_resolution = kdk_edid_get_max_resolution(name[count]);
        printf("max_resolution = %s0, max_resolution);
        free(max_resolution);
        char *model = kdk_edid_get_model(name[count]);
        printf("model = %s0, model);
        free(model);
        char *area = kdk_edid_get_visible_area(name[count]);
        printf("area = %s0, area);
        free(area);
        char *manufacturer = kdk_edid_get_manufacturer(name[count]);
        printf("manufacturer = %s0, manufacturer);
        free(manufacturer);
        int week = kdk_edid_get_week(name[count]);
        printf("week = %d0, week);
        int year = kdk_edid_get_year(name[count]);
        printf("year = %d0, year);
        int primary = kdk_edid_get_primary(name[count]);
        printf("%s0, primary == 1 ? "是" : "否");

        char *resolution = kdk_edid_get_resolution(name[count]);
        printf("resolution = %s0, resolution);
        free(resolution);

        char *ratio = kdk_edid_get_ratio(name[count]);
        printf("ratio = %s0, ratio);
        free(ratio);

        char *character = kdk_edid_get_character(name[count]);
        printf("character = %s0, character);
        free(character);

        printf("---------------------------------------0);
        count ++;
    }
    kdk_edid_freeall(name);
    return 0;
}
fr fr, notice how she frees every string she got back — max_resolution, model, area, manufacturer, resolution, ratio, character — and then calls kdk_edid_freeall(name) at the very end to clean up the whole list. memory hygiene is main character energy. don't skip it. 🙈
