💖 drm_connector_attach_privacy_screen_properties(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is drm_connecto...n_properties(9) (yes the title got cut off mid-vibe, she's just like that 😭). Buckle up, this one's a little function with big privacy-screen energy. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

drm_connector_attach_privacy_screen_properties — attaches the drm connector's privacy-screen properties. that's it, that's the whole job. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_connector_attach_privacy_screen_properties (struct
drm_connector *connector );

literally one argument, no return value, no drama. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • connector — the connector you're attaching the privacy-screen properties to. she's the main character here, everything happens on her. 👑

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what does this actually do, you ask? okay so: this function attaches two properties to the connector — and ngl their names are giving very much screen-privacy realness:

  • "privacy-screen sw-state"
  • "privacy-screen hw-state"

both get attached to the connector, and the initial state of both is set to "Disabled". so out of the box, they're off. no cap. 🙈

🌈 note: the original is very clear about this — initial state is "Disabled" for both of them. don't come for me if you assumed otherwise, I'm just the messenger. ✨

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the friend group is huge, okay, she knows everybody. here's the full roster, no skipping, I promised:

🧚 and yes, standard connector properties(9) is in there twice — she said it once and then said it again for the people in the back. iconique. 💅

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that. 🍓 this cutie lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm, the version vibes are October 2026, and she's filed under drm_connecto...n_properties(9) (the ellipsis is part of the aesthetic, don't @ me 😭). go forth and attach those properties, you got this. 💖✨
