πŸ’… drm_crtc_find(9)

Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ β€” this one's a tiny little helper that lives in drm_crtc_find(9) and honestly? It's giving "small but iconic." Let's get into it πŸŽ€


🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_crtc_find β€” look up a CRTC object from its ID πŸ¦‹


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

struct drm_crtc * drm_crtc_find (struct drm_device *dev , struct
drm_file *file_priv , uint32_t id );

Like, that's the whole signature right there πŸ’–


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • dev β€” the DRM device, obvi πŸ–₯️
  • file_priv β€” the drm file that we're checking for a lease against πŸ‘€
  • id β€” a drm_mode_object ID, iykyk πŸ”‘

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So what does it actually do? You can use this to look up a CRTC from its userspace ID 🌈. That's the whole vibe.

But here's the tea β˜• β€” it's only used by drivers for legacy IOCTLs and interface. No cap. Nowadays, if you're adding extensions to the KMS userspace interface, you should be doing that with drm_property instead. Periodt πŸ’… That's not me being dramatic, that's literally what it says β€” legacy stuff stays legacy, new stuff goes through drm_property 🫢


πŸ”₯ SEE ALSO πŸ”₯

Go read these next, bestie, they're all in the Kernel file ./include/drm/drm_crtc.h πŸ“š:


πŸ’€ Quick vibe check before you go: this thing is legacy territory. If you're writing new KMS interface extensions, drm_property is the main character, not this 🧚

Okay that's the whole page, you ate that πŸ“πŸ’– Mwah! This cutie came from ./include/drm, dated October 2026 β€” go forth and look up those CRTCs responsibly, bestie πŸ‘‘βœ¨
