fb_mode_is_equal(9)

💅 fb_mode_is_equal(9) — from the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to fb_mode_is_equal(9) 🎀 — the little kernel function whose whole entire job is to look at two videomodes and be like "same? same. 💅" or "nope, different, not today 🙈". That's it. That's the whole vibe. She's a comparer, she's a queen, she's the vibe check for struct fb_videomode. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int fb_mode_is_equal (const struct fb_videomode *mode1 , const struct
fb_videomode *mode2 );

literally her whole signature, character for character, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• mode1 — the first videomode, aka contestant number one 💖
• mode2 — the second videomode, aka contestant number two 🦋

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

1 if equal, 0 if not 🔥

yes that's the whole return contract, she's not complicated, she's just honest 😭
