get_line_length(9)

💅 get_line_length — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the get_line_length glow-up 🎀 this lil function lives in the Kernel API Manual (yes, the big-league kernel docs, we're literally in there) and it's about to tell you exactly how many bytes wide your buffer pitch is. no cap. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

get_line_length — calculates buffer pitch in bytes 💫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 get_line_length (struct i810fb_par *par , int xres_virtual , int bpp
);

like, she takes three things and gives you back a u32. iconic behavior honestly 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• par — a pointer to the struct i810fb_par structure. that's your whole vibe-holding struct, she needs it 💅
• xres_virtual — the virtual resolution of the frame. yes, virtual, not the regular one, read the name bestie 🙈
• bpp — bits per pixel. the tiny unit that decides how thicc each pixel is 🍓

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

She calculates the buffer pitch, in bytes. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey a queen for doing one thing and doing it flawlessly 👑✨
