POWERVR IOCTL INTERFACE(9)

💜 PowerVR IOCTL interface 💜

okay bestie, welcome to the PowerVR IOCTL interface page — section 9 of the Kernel API Manual, no cap. this one is basically a hub page: it's not here to dump the whole story, it's here to point you at the entire PowerVR UAPI friend group 😭✨ so consider this your group-chat pinned message, the roadmap to literally every struct, enum, ioctl and flags page you're gonna need 🫶

think of it as main character energy for the docs — it doesn't do the lore itself, it just introduces you to everyone at the party 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay so here's the full squad, in order, don't skip anyone, we don't do that here 🎀

lowkey the move here is: pick the ioctl you actually care about, go read that page, and come back when you need the next one 💅 the whole UAPI is linked up like a friendship bracelet 🎀

and that's the whole page bestie, fr fr 🌈 this came out of ./include/uapi/drm and it's dated October 2026 — so go forth, read the structs, and slay your ioctl journey 💖✨🦋
