💅 drm_gem_shmem_print_info(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny little function from the DRM/graphics side of the kernel and honestly? she's a supporting character with main character energy 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_gem_shmem_print_info — literally just prints out info about a &drm_gem_shmem_object for debugfs 🫶 that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_gem_shmem_print_info (const struct drm_gem_shmem_object *shmem
, struct drm_printer *p , unsigned int indent );

no cap, that's the whole signature 💖 returns void, meaning she gives you nothing back — her gift is the information, iykyk 🌈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• shmem — the shmem GEM object in question 🦋 this is the thing we're spilling the tea about
• p — the DRM printer 🌸 this is where the output goes, she's the messenger
• indent — tab indentation level 💅 how far over she sits in the debugfs output, because formatting matters and we are obsessed with a clean layout
