π NAME π
Okay bestie, gather round, because this is the drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_update_infoframes</p> page β the one and only, and it's literally about Update the Infoframes. That's it, that's the whole vibe. β¨
This page lives in the Kernel API Manual, so yeah, it's giving very much kernel-docs main character energy. π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int drm_atomic_helper_connector_hdmi_update_infoframes (struct drm_connector *connector , struct drm_atomic_commit *state );
That's the whole signature, no cap. π«Ά
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
connectorβ a pointer to the HDMI connector, like, the actual connector bestie, the thing we're updating πstateβ the HDMI connector state we're gonna generate the infoframe from π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
So here's the tea, okay? This function is meant for HDMI connector drivers to write their infoframes. That's the job. That's what it does. Slay. π
It will typically be used in a drm_connector_helper_funcs.atomic_enable implementation β so that's the moment where you'd normally slide it in. iconic placement honestly π
β RETURN β
- Zero on success π
- error code on failure π
That's it, that's the whole return situation β zero means we ate, anything else means we did not eat.

Okay that's the whole page bestie, we're done here π β this one came out of ./drivers/gpu/drm/display, dated October 2026, and honestly the truncated title drm_atomic_h...e_infoframes(9) is doing the most with the ellipsis and we respect it πβ¨
