💖 drm_mode_equal_no_clocks_no_stereo(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today we're doing a vibe check on two display modes and honestly? It's giving "are u the same person" but make it graphics drivers 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_mode_equal_no_clocks_no_stereo — test modes for equality, no cap 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • mode1 — the first mode, our main character 👑
  • mode2 — the second mode, the one we're comparing her to 🦋

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So the way this works is so iconic: you check whether mode1 and mode2 are equivalent — like, actually the same vibe — but don't check the pixel clocks, and don't check the stereo layout. That's it. That's the whole assignment 🔥

Basically it's the chill version of the equality check. Two modes can match here even if their clocks and stereo settings are doing their own little thing 🙈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

True if the modes are equal 💖 — false otherwise 💀 (sorry bestie, them's the breaks)
