💅 drm_sysfs_connector_property_event(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a little function with a big name and honestly it's giving "I only do one thing but I do it iconically." Let's get into it ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

drm_sysfs_connector_property_event — the function that generates a DRM uevent whenever a connector property changes. that's it, that's the whole vibe. lowkey essential, fr fr 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_sysfs_connector_property_event (struct drm_connector *connector
, struct drm_property *property );

she takes two pointers and returns absolutely nothing (void, queen of not overcommitting 💅). copy it exactly like that, spacing and all — do not come for her formatting.

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • connector — the connector whose property just changed. like, the actual connector. the one having a moment. 🫶
  • property — the connector property that changed. this is the thing that decided to be different. 🙈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

the whole job, in one breath: send a uevent for the specified DRM connector and property. ✨

and like, what actually goes in that uevent? currently we set HOTPLUG=1 plus the connector id, along with the attached property id related to the change. that's the payload, no cap. 🎀

so if you were wondering "does this thing just yell into the void?" — no bestie, it yells into the void with structured data. main character energy honestly 👑
