💅 video_display_state — Arcan Lua API 💅

okay bestie, this is video_display_state(3) from the Arcan Lua API, and it's literally about changing the power state for a display. no cap, it's giving "screen go to sleep / screen wake up" energy, and we are keeping every detail. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

video_display_state — change power state for a display. periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the synopsis is right here, bestie — first statestr, then the call:

statestr
video_display_state( id, state )

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this function is intended for nativ video platforms that expose raw video display control — and for _lwa builds, it's a switch to enable/disable render passes while maintaining other parts of the pipeline. 🫶

note that the function returns a human readable string representing the current state, but the optional state argument expects one of these constants:

  • DISPLAY_OFF
  • DISPLAY_ON
  • DISPLAY_SUSPEND
  • DISPLAY_STANDBY

any other value is a terminal state transition. 💀

the id value for a display can be retrieved in the event handler for _display_state(action, id). iykyk. 🔥

🎀 EXAMPLE 🎀

here's the example, copied exactly and looking iconic:

function video_display_state0()
      print(video_display_state(0));
      print(video_display_state(0, DISPLAY_OFF));
      print(video_display_state(0, DISPLAY_ON));
end
