drm_gem_shm...t_print_info(9)

💅 drm_gem_shm...t_print_info(9) 💅

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, and it's about one very specific little function. it's not glamorous, but it is iconic in its own lowkey way ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_shmem_object_print_info — the function that prints out your &drm_gem_shmem_object info, specifically for debugfs 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_shmem_object_print_info (struct drm_printer *p , unsigned int indent , const struct drm_gem_object *obj );

like, that's the whole signature. no cap, it returns void — nothing comes back, it just does the thing 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• p — your DRM printer, the little guy doing the actual printing 💖
• indent — the tab indentation level, so your output looks cute and nested instead of all chaotic 🙈
• obj — the GEM object in question, the main character of this whole operation 👑

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it actually do? it wraps drm_gem_shmem_print_info. that's it. that's the vibe 💀

the important part, and this is the part you need to remember for the exam: drivers that employ the shmem helpers should use this function as their drm_gem_object_funcs.print_info handler. literally just plug it in and let it cook 🍓
