drm_connect...t_iter_begin(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 drm_connector_list_iter_begin(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this one's from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, iykyk) and it's genuinely such a cute little entry point — it's the "hey girlie, start walking the list" function. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_connector_list_iter_begin — literally just initializes a connector_list iterator. that's the whole job. and she ate 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_connector_list_iter_begin (struct drm_device *dev , struct
drm_connector_list_iter *iter );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • dev — the DRM device. the main character of this whole story, fr.
  • iter — the connector_list iterator. she's the one doing the walking 🚶‍♀️

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what this does is it sets iter up to walk the drm_mode_config.connector_list of dev. that's it. lowkey simple, highkey important 🌈

⚠️ but listen — iter must always be cleaned up again by calling drm_connector_list_iter_end. always. no cap. don't leave her hanging like that, it's not the vibe 😭

the actual iteration itself happens using drm_connector_list_iter_next or drm_for_each_connector_iter — this function is just the setup, the next two do the strutting 💃

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

not me about to list the entire friend group... this SEE ALSO section is so long, she brought everybody 💀 but every single one matters, so here we go:

(yes, standard connector properties(9) shows up twice — she's just that iconic 👑)

and that's the whole page, bestie!! mwah 💋 this one's sourced from ./drivers/gpu/drm and dated October 2026 — go forth and iterate responsibly, and don't forget the drm_connector_list_iter_end cleanup, ily 🫶✨
