🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_privacy_screen_get_state(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, that exact manual, and we are literally getting the privacy-screen's current state.

drm_privacy_screen_get_state — get privacy-screen's current state 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void drm_privacy_screen_get_state (struct drm_privacy_screen *priv ,
enum drm_privacy_screen_status *sw_state_ret , enum
drm_privacy_screen_status *hw_state_ret );

it's giving void, so no return value is coming back at you — the state info goes where the arguments point. 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• priv — the privacy screen to get the state for. this is the main-character privacy screen, periodt.
• sw_state_ret — address where to store the privacy-screen's current sw-state. yes, the sw-state goes right there.
• hw_state_ret — address where to store the privacy-screen's current hw-state. and the hw-state goes right there too.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Get the current state of a privacy-screen — both the sw-state and the hw-state. that's the whole vibe: current state, sw-state, hw-state, both of them, no cap. 🔥

ngl, this one is short and iconic: you hand it a privacy screen, plus places to store the current sw-state and hw-state, and it gets the current state of that privacy-screen. 🦋
