drm_any_plane_has_format(9)

💅 drm_any_plane_has_format — bestie, does ANY plane speak this format?

okay so real talk, this is the kernel API page for drm_any_plane_has_format — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly it does exactly one little thing and it does it iconically ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_any_plane_has_format — check whether any plane supports this format and modifier combination 🫶

like… any plane. at least one. that's the whole vibe check. 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool drm_any_plane_has_format (struct drm_device *dev , u32 format , u64 modifier );

it's a bool bestie, so you already know it's giving yes-or-no energy 🔥

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device 👑 (the main character of this whole situation)
• format — the pixel format, as a DRM_FORMAT_* value 🌈 (iykyk)
• modifier — the data layout modifier 🧚 (the little ✨sparkle✨ on top of the format)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

returns whether at least one plane supports the specified format and modifier combination 💜

that's it. that's the answer. true if somebody out there can hang, false if literally nobody can 😭
