drm_eld_get_conn_type(9)

💖 drm_eld_get_conn_type(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny little function but she's lowkey iconic. Her whole personality? Telling you whether the display you're plugged into is HDMI or DisplayPort. That's it. That's the job. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_eld_get_conn_type — get device type hdmi/dp connected 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u8 drm_eld_get_conn_type (const u8 *eld );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• eld — pointer to an ELD memory structure 👑 (yes, pointer, she's not copying the whole thing for you, she just needs the address, slay)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the vibe: as the caller, you literally need to use DRM_ELD_CONN_TYPE_HDMI or DRM_ELD_CONN_TYPE_DP to identify which display type is actually connected. Those are your two choices, no cap. HDMI or DP, pick your fighter. 💅

That's genuinely the whole description. Not me expecting more lore and getting two lines. 💀 But fr fr, those two constants are the entire answer key — don't go inventing a third one, bestie.
