💅 drm_get_color_range_name(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay so bestie, buckle up, we're in the drm_get_color_range_name(9) page — that's the manual name, yes it's a mouthful, no you don't have to say it out loud 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

drm_get_color_range_name — returns a string for color range. that's it, that's the whole job, and honestly? she ate 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * drm_get_color_range_name (enum drm_color_range range );

look at her go, one function, one argument, zero drama ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• range — the color range you want the name of. that's the one. that's the input. she takes it and she hands you back a name 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the thing that makes this one kind of iconic: unlike the other drm_get_*_name functions, this one right here returns a const pointer, which means it is threadsafe. no cap. the other ones? not built like that. this one? built different 😭✨
