💅 intel_digital_connector_duplicate_state(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — yeah, that's the manual name, and this page is intel_digit...licate_state(9) (the truncation is doing its little thing, you'll get used to it, iykyk 🎀). Buckle up, we're duplicating some connector state and it's gonna be iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

intel_digital_connector_duplicate_state — duplicate connector state 🫶

like, literally copy the state. that's the whole vibe.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct drm_connector_state * intel_digital_connector_duplicate_state
(struct drm_connector *connector );

yup, that's the whole signature, no cap. it hands you back a struct drm_connector_state * and it takes exactly one thing: connector.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• connector — digital connector 💫 (that's it, that's the argument. she's simple, she's elegant, she's a digital connector.)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she do? she allocates and returns a copy of the connector state for the connector you passed in. and not just a partial copy, bestie — it's both the common state and the digital-connector-specific state. the whole package. the full fit. 👑

main character energy fr fr: takes your connector, gives you back a fresh duplicate of its state. slay.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• the newly allocated connector state 🌈 — she's yours now, congrats
• or NULL on failure 💀 — yeah. sometimes things just don't work out. check your returns, bestie, please.
