drm_property_create_bool(9)

💖 drm_property_create_bool 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the drm_property_create_bool(9) page — it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the moment a brand-new boolean property gets born into the DRM universe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

drm_property_create_bool — create a new boolean property type 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_property * drm_property_create_bool (struct drm_device *dev ,
       u32 flags , const char *name );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• dev — the drm device, the main character of this whole operation 👑
• flags — the flags that specify the property type, iykyk
• name — the name of the property, so everyone knows what to call it 🏷️

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so this function creates a new generic drm property, and that property can then be attached to a drm object using drm_object_attach_property. slay. ✨

the returned property object must be freed with drm_property_destroy — and ngl, that's actually handled automatically for you when you call drm_mode_config_cleanup. no cap, it's giving convenient. 🫶

lowkey important: this is implemented as a ranged property with only {0, 1} as valid values — so yeah, it's a bool, but underneath it's a range that only tolerates those two numbers. 💀

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

a pointer to the newly created property on success, or NULL on failure 😭 (yes, you have to check. always check.)
