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

okay so this is the manual page for drm_mode_create_dvi_i_properties, and yes the header up top squishes it into drm_mode_cre...i_properties(9) because apparently even manpages get a lil truncated when the name is too iconic to fit. anyway. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're learning kernel DRM today 🍓✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_mode_create_dvi_i_properties — the function that creates the DVI-I specific connector properties. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int drm_mode_create_dvi_i_properties (struct drm_device *dev );

like, it takes a struct drm_device *dev and hands you back an int. simple. clean. ate. 🔥

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • dev — the DRM device 💖 that's the whole parameter list, no cap, just the one.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: a driver calls this the first time a DVI-I connector is made. that's the moment. the main character moment, if you will 👑. first DVI-I connector ever → this gets called → properties get created → slay.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it returns 0. that's it. zero. no drama, no error codes to worry about, just a clean lil 0 🎀✨

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

okay bestie, buckle up, because this list is long and every single one of these is going in, i don't make the rules (i do, actually, and the rule is: keep every detail) 🧚

that's all of them. every. single. one. 💀✨ (iykyk)

ngl if you skipped to the bottom looking for a tl;dr: it's "driver calls it the first time a DVI-I connector is made, returns 0." but you'd be missing the lore 🙈

and that's the page, bestie 🫶 this cute lil piece of documentation lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm and the version stamped on it is October 2026 — mwah, iconic, no notes. bye bestie, go make some DVI-I connectors 💖✨🎀
