drm_plane_from_index(9)

🌸 drm_plane_from_index(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the drm_plane_from_index(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the whole title, we're not skipping the manual name, it's part of the vibe 💅

✨ NAME ✨

drm_plane_from_index — find the registered plane at an index

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct drm_plane * drm_plane_from_index (struct drm_device *dev , int
       idx );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the DRM device, aka the main character here 👑
• idx — the index of the registered plane you're trying to find, like its little locker number fr fr

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically: you hand it a plane index, and it goes through the DRM device's list of planes and returns the registered plane whose index matches. that's it, that's the whole slay ✨

highkey important detail: this is the inverse of drm_plane_index. like, they're each other's mirror selfie 🪞 no cap.
