✨ hdmi_spd_infoframe_init(9) ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is literally the glow-up ritual for an HDMI SPD infoframe 🎀 it's short, it's sweet, and it's giving "small function, big responsibility" energy. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

hdmi_spd_infoframe_init — the function that initializes an HDMI SPD infoframe. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hdmi_spd_infoframe_init (struct hdmi_spd_infoframe *frame , const
char *vendor , const char *product );

like, you hand her a frame and two little strings and she returns an int. no cap, that's the entire vibe check 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • frame — the HDMI SPD infoframe itself 💖 this is your main character, the thing getting initialized.
  • vendor — the vendor string 🌸 just the name of who made it.
  • product — the product string 🦋 and this one's the name of the thing itself.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does she do? she sets everything up and then tells you how it went:

  • returns 0 on success 🥳 slay, we love a clean zero
  • returns a negative error code on failure 😭 not the vibe, but at least you know

and that's genuinely all the manpage says, bestie — no hidden lore, no secret flags, no little extras hiding in the footnotes. she's a straightforward icon 👑

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay this is where it gets iconic — the whole HDMI infoframe friend group shows up. also, kernel file: ./drivers/video/hdmi.c 💜

fr fr, read the whole squad. they're all in ./drivers/video and they all slay in their own way 💀✨

and that's the page, bestie 🧚 this little beauty lives in ./drivers/video and the version we're repping is dated October 2026 — go forth and initialize those infoframes, mwah 💋
