drm_dsc_dump_config(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… drm_dsc_dump_config β€” like, the DSC config dumper, bestie

Okay so real quick β€” this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one very specific little function that literally just prints stuff for you. No cap. Let's get into it πŸ’–


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_dsc_dump_config (struct drm_printer *p , int indent , const
       struct drm_dsc_config *cfg );

That's the whole vibe. Three arguments, returns nothing, just prints. Iconic honestly πŸŽ€


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • p β€” the printer you're using for output, bestie. That's the thing doing the actual printing, so pick a good one πŸ’…
  • indent β€” tab indentation level, and listen: max 5. That's the ceiling. Do not test it πŸ™ˆ
  • cfg β€” the DSC configuration that's getting printed out. The main character of this whole function tbh πŸ‘‘

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically it prints the DSC configuration you handed it in cfg. That's it. That's the function. It dumps the config, it slays, it goes home ✨

Like yeah, that's genuinely the entire description. Not me expecting more 😭
