drm_property_add_enum(9)

💅 drm_property_add_enum(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_property_add_enum(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a little vintage, but we're gonna stan it anyway 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

drm_property_add_enum — add a possible value to an enumeration property 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int drm_property_add_enum (struct drm_property *property , uint64_t
value , const char *name );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• property — the enumeration property you're changing. this is the main character, she's getting a new value 💅
• value — the actual value of the new enumeration. like, the number-number one 🔥
• name — the symbolic name of the new enumeration. the cute label everyone will see 👑

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does this function even do? it adds enumerations to a property. that's it. that's the whole vibe ✨

⚠️ okay but hear me out — its use is deprecated. drivers should use one of the more specific helpers to directly create the property with all enumerations already attached. no cap, this is the legacy route 😭

like, it works, but it's giving "old money" in the bad way. the specific helpers are right there, bestie, use those 🫶

---

💜 RETURN 💜

Zero on success, error code on failure. zero = slay, anything else = bestie what happened 💀
