💖 drm_display_mode_to_videomode — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, buckle up, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is honestly such a cute little translator function 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_display_mode_to_videomode - fill in @vm using @dmode,

(yes the trailing comma is real, we don't ask questions, we just copy her exactly 💅)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_display_mode_to_videomode (const struct drm_display_mode *dmode
, struct videomode *vm );

it's giving "void, takes two pointers, changes your life" 😭 no return value, she just does the thing and dips.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dmode — the drm_display_mode structure you're reading from. this is the source, the origin story, the main character 👑
  • vm — the videomode structure you're writing into. this is the destination, the group chat you're forwarding the message to 💌

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Fills out vm using the display mode specified in dmode.

that's it. that's the whole vibe. she takes what's in dmode and pours it into vm so the videomode girlies can understand it too. no cap, no extra steps, no drama 🌈

lowkey obsessed with how simple this is. one job. she does it. periodt ✨
