💖 drm_plane_add_size_hints_property(9) 💖

okay so bestie, you're in the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is drm_plane_add_size_hints_property — no cap, she's here to make a size hints property and she's gonna slay while doing it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

drm_plane_add_size_hints_property — create a size hints property 🎀

like, literally that's the whole job. creating a size hints property. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int drm_plane_add_size_hints_property (struct drm_plane *plane , const
       struct drm_plane_size_hint *hints , int num_hints );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• plane — drm plane 💜 (the plane in question, the one getting the glow-up)
• hints — size hints 🌈 (the actual hints, she's const so don't even think about it)
• num_hints — number of size hints 🍓 (yes bestie, you gotta tell her how many)

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Create a size hints property for the plane. That's it, that's the vibe 🫶 — she makes the property, the plane gets the hints, everyone goes home happy.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Zero for success or -errno 💀 — so like, 0 means you ate and left no crumbs, and a negative errno means something went sideways (the error code will tell you what).
