get_encoder_cap_record(9)

💅 get_encoder_cap_record(9) ✨

okay so bestie, this one is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little cutie. 🎀 it does exactly one thing and does it iconically.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

get_encoder_cap_record — literally just Get encoder cap record for the object. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ATOM_ENCODER_CAP_RECORD_V2 * get_encoder_cap_record (struct bios_parser
*bp , ATOM_OBJECT *object );

look at her. returns a pointer to an ATOM_ENCODER_CAP_RECORD_V2, takes a struct bios_parser * and an ATOM_OBJECT *. short, sweet, serving main character energy. 👑

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• bp — pointer to the BIOS parser. that's your parser bestie, she's doing the work 💅
• object — an ATOM object. yes queen, that's the thing we're looking stuff up for 🦋

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

the atom encoder cap record. that's it, that's the tea. ☕✨

---

🌈 NOTE 🌈

bestie pls note: it searches all records to find the ATOM_ENCODER_CAP_RECORD_V2 record. so like... it's a hunt. a little scavenger hunt through everything. ngl, she's thorough. 🔍💀

and that's the page!! 💖✨🎀 this lil manual page came from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/... and it's dated October 2026, and yeah — the header and footer both say get_encoder_cap_record(9) because she's consistent like that. slay. 💅🌸🦋
