drm_bridge_detect(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 drm_bridge_detect(9) — no like literally the Kernel API Manual bestie

okay so welcome to drm_bridge_detect(9), which is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's basically asking one iconic little question: is anything actually plugged into this bridge's output or nah? 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

drm_bridge_detect — check if anything is attached to the bridge output

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum drm_connector_status drm_bridge_detect (struct drm_bridge *bridge ,
struct drm_connector *connector );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • bridge — the bridge control structure, she's the main character here 👑
  • connector — the attached connector, tagging along for the ride

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe check 🔍: if the bridge supports output detection — like, as reported by the DRM_BRIDGE_OP_DETECT bridge ops flag — then it calls drm_bridge_funcs.detect for the bridge and hands you back the connection status. Slay. ✨

Otherwise it just returns connector_status_unknown. That's it, that's the whole tea. 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The detection status on success 💫 — or connector_status_unknown if the bridge doesn't support output detection at all (ngl, sometimes that's just how it is 😭).

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, buckle up, this list is long and honestly kind of iconic 🔥 — go read all of these:

fr fr, that's a lot of cross-references. drink some water before you click through them all 💧

and that's the page babes 💅 this little gem lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm, it's dated October 2026, and it's literally called drm_bridge_detect(9) — go off, king 👑✨💜
