drm_dp_dsc_...ports_format(9)

💅 drm_dp_dsc_sink_supports_format — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is a kernel API manual page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual section, and the whole thing is literally just: does this sink do DSC with this format or not? That's it. That's the vibe. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

drm_dp_dsc_sink_supports_format — check if sink supports DSC with given output format

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool drm_dp_dsc_sink_supports_format (const u8
dsc_dpcd[DP_DSC_RECEIVER_CAP_SIZE] , u8 output_format );

It returns a bool, no cap. Two args, both tiny, both doing their thing.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dsc_dpcd — the DSC-capability DPCDs of the sink. like, the sink's little resume of what it can do 💖
• output_format — the output_format which is to be checked. literally just the format you're asking about, bestie

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Returns true if the sink supports DSC with the given output_format, false otherwise. that's the entire plot. no twist ending, no subplot. just a yes or a no 💅

ngl it's giving "one-liner helper function main character energy" and honestly? we love that for it ✨
