✨ drm_plane_find(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to drm_plane_find from the Kernel API Manual — a whole function whose entire personality is "find me a &drm_plane" 🎀 it's short, it's sweet, it's giving helpful-little-helper energy and honestly? we love her for it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_plane * drm_plane_find (struct drm_device *dev , struct
       drm_file *file_priv , uint32_t id );

like, look at her. three args, one pointer back, no drama. iconic 🦋

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• dev — the DRM device, obvi. this is the world we're searching in 🌈
• file_priv — the drm file you're checking for a lease against 👀 yes bestie, lease, as in the lease-checking kind, not the apartment kind 😭
• id — the plane id. the little number that tells us which plane we're hunting for 🔎

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea: it returns the plane with id, and if that plane doesn't exist? it just hands you back NULL 🫶 no cap, no fuss, no dramatic error path — just NULL and vibes.

and underneath all that glamour, it's literally a simple wrapper around drm_mode_object_find 🧚 lowkey humble of her tbh, she's not doing the heavy lifting, she's just making the entrance look cute ✨

ngl, this one's a short read — but every single word of it is doing its job, so don't skip 💀
