fb_get_options(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the fb_get_options(9) page 💖 this one's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about getting kernel boot parameters ✨

💖 NAME 💖

fb_get_options — get kernel boot parameters. No cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fb_get_options (const char *name , char **option );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • name — framebuffer name as it would appear in the boot parameter line (video=<name>:<options>). Like, that's the exact vibe it's matching, bestie.
  • option — the option will be stored here. Slay, that's where it goes 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The caller owns the string returned in option and is responsible for releasing the memory. Periodt — you got the string, you clean it up, okay? 🫶

💀 NOTE 💀

Needed to maintain backwards compatibility. It's giving legacy icon energy, and that's the whole note, fr fr.
