💅 commit_minimal_transition_state_in_dc_update(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up zone ✨ this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's basically the "find me a cute little stepping stone" function for display state transitions. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

commit_minimal_transition_state_in_dc_update — commits a minimal state based on the current context or the new one, whichever vibes 💫

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool commit_minimal_transition_state_in_dc_update (struct dc *dc ,
struct dc_state *new_context , struct dc_stream_state *stream ,
struct dc_surface_update *srf_updates , int surface_count );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dc — the DC structure, and we use it to grab the current state 👑
• new_context — the new context, the fresh fit ✨
• stream — the stream that's getting the update for the flip 🎀
• srf_updates — the surface updates, all of them 💅
• surface_count — how many surfaces there are, literally just the number 🔢

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the way this works: it takes the current state and the new state and goes looking for a minimal transition state — like an intermediate step that makes the jump between current and new states seamless. it's giving bridge energy 🌈

if it finds one, it commits that minimal transition state, updates the current state to be that minimal transition state, and returns true. slay. if it doesn't find one? it returns false. no cap 😭

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns True if the minimal transition succeeded, false otherwise. that's the whole vibe check 💀
