pvr_context_create(9)

💖 pvr_context_create(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so real quick, this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's about making a whole entire context. yes, that kind of context. let's go 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

pvr_context_create — literally creates a context. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int pvr_context_create (struct pvr_file *pvr_file , struct drm_pvr_ioctl_create_context_args *args );

like… it returns an int, it takes two pointers, and yes you have to spell out struct both times, no shortcuts, we don't do that here 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• pvr_file — the file you want to attach your freshly-created context to. it's giving "here's where the new baby lives" energy 👑
• args — the context creation arguments. all the little details of how you want this context built, passed in right here.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🎉 (slay, it worked)
• a negative error code on failure 😭 (not the vibe, but at least it tells you)

ngl, that's the whole return situation — 0 = good, negative = bad. no cap.
