drm_connecto...did_property(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ drm_connector_update_edid_property(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual today — section 9, the whole drm_connecto...did_property(9) situation (yes the header gets truncated, she's just like that 💅). Buckle up, this one's a little deprecated girlie but we still stan the lore 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_connector_update_edid_property — update the edid property of a connector. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int drm_connector_update_edid_property (struct drm_connector *connector
, const struct edid *edid );

literally the signature, keep it exactly like this, don't touch ✨

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • connector — the drm connector. our main character 🫶
  • edid — the new value of the edid property. fresh new energy for the connector 🌈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so what she does: this function creates a new blob modeset object and assigns its id to the connector's edid property. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

and because we also parse tile information out of EDID's displayID block, we set the connector's tile property here too. no extra steps, she's efficient like that 💅 for more details, go look at drm_connector_set_tile_property — iykyk 👑

⚠️ bestie listen to me. This function is deprecated. Use drm_edid_connector_update instead. i'm not mad, i'm just disappointed 😭 please use the new one.

🌟 RETURN 🌟

  • Zero on success — slay, we ate 🍓
  • negative errno on failure — 💀 not the errno
