drm_dp_subconnector_type(9)

💅 drm_dp_subconnector_type(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yes that's the manual name, we're fancy here. This page is about drm_dp_subconnector_type, and it's basically a tiny little detective that goes "hiiii what kind of DisplayPort branch device are you?" 🕵️‍♀️💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_dp_subconnector_type — get DP branch device type 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum drm_mode_subconnector drm_dp_subconnector_type (const u8
dpcd[DP_RECEIVER_CAP_SIZE] , const u8 port_cap[4] );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dpcd — DisplayPort configuration data 💫 like, the whole vibe readout of the receiver
• port_cap — port capabilities 🌈 the four bytes that tell you what this port can actually do

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so this function does not exist alone, she has a whole friend group, and literally every one of them is listed below because we do not leave anyone out 💅🫶
