DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES(9)

💅 DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the kernel API manual, we're in the big leagues now 🎀 and this page is about one very specific little thing. So tiny. So iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES — the maximum number of planes a DRM format can have 💖

like, the absolute ceiling. the hard limit. the "that's it, that's as many planes as a DRM format gets" number 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES

yep, that's the whole thing. no arguments, no options, no little curly braces, nothing — it's just The Name itself doing its thing ✨ honestly? main character energy.

ngl this page is short enough to read in one breath, so if you blinked and missed it — same. but every one of those SEE ALSOs is a real page, so don't skip them just because this one's a snack-sized read 💀

okay that's the whole vibe check, bestie — you made it to the end 🌈 this little gem lives in ./include/drm, the version on the tin says October 2026, and it ships under the very dramatic name DRM_FORMAT_MAX_PLANES(9). slay, go read some more manpages 💜
