drm_get_con..._status_name(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ and today's main character is drm_get_con..._status_name(9) — yes the header truncates it, yes it's still her, no cap 💅

✨ NAME ✨

drm_get_connector_status_name — return a string for connector status 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * drm_get_connector_status_name (enum drm_connector_status
status );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • status — the connector status you want the name of, like, computed. that's the whole job 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea, and it's genuinely iconic: unlike all the other drm_get_*_name functions out there, this one returns a const pointer — which means she's threadsafe 👑 periodt. That's the flex. That's the entire flex. She doesn't need to do anything else.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

the connector status string ✨ (a string! for the status! we love a function that does exactly what its name says)
