drm_connecto...ible_encoder(9)
π drm_connecto...ible_encoder(9) β a Kernel API Manual moment
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's a lil function called drm_connector_has_possible_encoder, and honestly? it's giving "are these two even associated" energy. let's get into it π«Ά
β¨ NAME β¨
drm_connector_has_possible_encoder β check if the connector and encoder are associated with each other π
like, are they besties or not. that's the whole vibe check.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
bool drm_connector_has_possible_encoder (struct drm_connector *connector
, struct drm_encoder *encoder );
literally just hand it a connector and an encoder and it tells you if they're linked π« (and yes, it returns a bool, we love a clean yes/no)
π ARGUMENTS π
connectorβ the connector π she's the one we're checking onencoderβ the encoder π the one we're checking against, iykyk
β RETURN β
<cute>True</cute> if encoder is one of the possible encoders for connector πβ¨
that's it. that's the answer. no cap.
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
okay so this list is long β like, unreasonably long β but every single one of these is iconic in her own right, so here we go, no skipping, periodt:

bestie i counted and yes, standard connector properties(9) really does show up twice β that's not me being chaotic, that's just how the page is π keep both, she's earning her spot.
and that's the page!! π§ββοΈ straight outta the ./drivers/gpu/drm source, dated October 2026 β mwah, slay, go check your encoders π
