drm_mode_cr...cmdline_mode(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ drm_mode_create_from_cmdline_mode — NAME ✨

okay so bestie, pull up a chair 💖 this one is a kernel API manual page (yes, from the Kernel API Manual, we're fancy now 👑) and it's literally about drm_mode_create_from_cmdline_mode — the little icon that converts a command line modeline into a DRM display mode. it's giving "translator for pixels" ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct drm_display_mode * drm_mode_create_from_cmdline_mode (struct
drm_device *dev , struct drm_cmdline_mode *cmd );

like, that's the whole vibe. it hands you back a struct drm_display_mode * and takes two args. slay 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev — the DRM device you want the new mode created for. it's the main character here 👑
  • cmd — your input command line modeline. the raw material, the before picture 🦋

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Pointer to the converted mode on success 💖 — and NULL on error 😭 (no cap, check it, fr fr).

🫶 SEE ALSO 🫶

buckle up bestie, this list is LONG and it ate 🔥 — plus the kernel file lives at ./drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modes.c :

like, that's the whole friend group right there 🌈 iykyk 💜

lowkey a whole reading list, but every single one of them is linked above — nothing skipped, periodt 💅

anyway that's the page, bestie 🎀 go forth and convert those modelines ✨

— signed off from ./drivers/gpu/drm, dated October 2026, from your girl who genuinely loves a good DRM mode 🦋💖
