drm_mode_equal(9)

okay so welcome to drm_mode_equal(9) from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is literally the mode equality test and it's giving “are these two the same or not” energy. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

drm_mode_equal — test modes for equality, no cap.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

       bool drm_mode_equal (const struct drm_display_mode *mode1 , const struct
       drm_display_mode *mode2 );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mode1 — first mode. The one leading the vibe check.
• mode2 — second mode. The other one in the comparison.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Check to see if mode1 and mode2 are equivalent. That's the whole assignment — it's a little equality check for two modes, and honestly? iconic. 🦋

🔥 RETURN 🔥

True if the modes are equal, false otherwise. Periodt. 💖
