📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 drm_bridge_get_modes(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual one, we're in the kernel docs bestie, put your hair up 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_bridge_get_modes — the glow-up function that fills all the modes currently valid for the sink into the @connector. slay 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int drm_bridge_get_modes (struct drm_bridge *bridge , struct drm_connector *connector );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • bridge — the bridge control structure. this is the main character of the operation, honestly 👑
  • connector — the connector you're filling with modes. she's the canvas, the receptacle, the vessel 🎨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea ☕ — if the bridge supports output modes retrieval (and you can tell because it's reported by the DRM_BRIDGE_OP_MODES bridge ops flag, iykyk), then this function calls drm_bridge_funcs.get_modes to fill the connector with all the valid modes and returns the number of modes added. periodt 💅

otherwise? it just returns 0. no drama, no modes, no nothing. 🤷‍♀️

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of modes added to the connector. that's it, that's the number, that's the whole vibe 🔥
