drm_format_info_min_pitch(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

Okay so bestie, welcome to drm_format_info_min_pitch — manual page 9, Kernel API Manual, and it literally computes the minimum required pitch in bytes 🔥 (yes, that's the whole vibe, she's a one-job icon and she does it well 💅)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint64_t drm_format_info_min_pitch (const struct drm_format_info *info ,
int plane , unsigned int buffer_width );

No cap, that's the whole signature 🫶 — takes a format info pointer, a plane index, and a buffer width, and hands you back a uint64_t. Periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • info — the pixel format info 💖 like, the whole personality of the pixel format lives in here
  • plane — the plane index 🌈 (which plane we're looking at, bestie, keep up)
  • buffer_width — the buffer width, and it's measured in pixels ⭐ don't get it twisted

👑 RETURN 👑

So what does she give you back? The minimum required pitch in bytes for a buffer 💅 — and she gets there by taking into consideration both the pixel format information and the buffer width. Both. She's thorough like that. We love a considerate function 🙈
