💅 DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual page for DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE — yes the name is in all caps, yes it's iconic, we move 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE — the page-flip completion event 💖 the moment your screen goes "bestie the new frame is UP" 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_EVENT_FLIP_COMPLETE

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no args, no flags, just a whole event showing up to the party 🎉

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so literally, this event is sent in response to an atomic commit, or a legacy page-flip, that had the DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT flag set 🔥 like, you asked for the event, you literally asked, and the kernel is like "say less" and sends it 💅

the event payload is a struct drm_event_vblank — that's the little cutie that comes with it, ngl it's giving main character energy 👑

fr fr if you didn't set DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT, don't be out here waiting for this event, it's not coming 😭 the flag is the whole invite, periodt 🎀
