drm_client_s..._with_fourcc(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is drm_client_s..._with_fourcc(9) from the Kernel API Manual (yes the title is literally truncated with dots, that's just how it's printed, we don't make the rules πŸ’…). The actual function is drm_client_setup_with_fourcc β€” it sets up in-kernel DRM clients for color mode. that's the whole vibe. πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_client_setup_with_fourcc (struct drm_device *dev , u32 fourcc );

like, it returns nothing (void, iconic, no notes) and takes these two things πŸ‘‡


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • dev β€” the DRM device. your main character. πŸ”₯
  • fourcc β€” the preferred pixel format for the device, expressed as a 4CC code. yes, a four-character code. hence the name. iykyk. ✨

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does it do? it sets up the in-kernel DRM clients. that's it, that's the job. πŸ‘‘

the tea is: it's equivalent to drm_client_setup, but it expects a 4CC code as its second argument instead. literally the same energy, just with a pixel-format twist. no cap. 🫢


🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

  • Kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/clients/drm_client_setup.c β€” go read the source, it's giving "trust me bro, it's all in there" πŸ“‚
  • drm_client_setup(9) β€” the sibling without the 4CC twist πŸ‘―
  • drm_client_setup_with_color_mode(9) β€” its other friend, also color-adjacent 🎨

fr fr, that's everything. every argument, every reference, all of it. nothing skipped, bestie. πŸ’œ
