💅 drm_plane_has_format(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the drm_plane_has_format(9) page 💖 this is a kernel API manual thingy and we're gonna get through it together, no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

drm_plane_has_format — literally just checks whether the plane supports this format and modifier combo 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool drm_plane_has_format (struct drm_plane *plane , u32 format , u64
modifier );

that's it, that's the whole~~vibe~~ signature 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• plane — the drm plane, the main character of this whole situation 👑
• format — the pixel format, and it's a DRM_FORMAT_* one, so keep that in mind bestie
