POWERVR IOCTL SUBMIT_JOBS INTERFACE(9)

✨ PowerVR IOCTL SUBMIT_JOBS interface ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the PowerVR IOCTL SUBMIT_JOBS interface page 💅 it lives in section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a short one. no cap, this page is basically a glow-up of a table of contents — everything you actually want to read lives in the cross-references below, and every single one of them is listed so you don't have to go hunting 🫶

think of it as the group chat of PowerVR interfaces: this page is the one that just says "go ask them" and points at everyone 🎀
