💅 overview(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

🌸 overview 🌸

Okay bestie, so this is the overview page and it's literally the vibe check for DRM's userspace situation. DRM exposes many UAPI and structure definitions so it can have a consistent and standardized interface with users. Userspace can refer to these structure definitions and UAPI formats to communicate to drivers. That's the whole point — standardized communication, no cap. ✨

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

Required-reading time, bestie — the pinned syllabus is stacked. 📚 Peep every single one:

MwAH 💋 — that's the whole overview(9) moment. Signing off with source/version ./include/uapi/drm, dated October 2026, manual overview(9). Stay standardized, bestie, and go communicate with those drivers. 🫶💖
