💅 drm_kms_helper_connector_hotplug_event(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

bestie. bestie. it fires the hotplug event. for a connector. that's the whole vibe.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void drm_kms_helper_connector_hotplug_event (struct drm_connector
*connector );

like literally that's it, one (void) function, one argument, no drama, no return value, just vibes and a struct drm_connector *. 💜

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the tea, and it's giving "same same but different" ☕✨

This is the same as drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event, except — and this is the main character part — it fires a more fine-grained uevent for a single connector. 🎯

so instead of the whole "everything is happening" group announcement, she's doing a personal, one-connector-specific notification. precise. curated. iykyk. 💅
