πŸ’… s3c_fb_align_word(9) β€” the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the s3c_fb_align_word(9) page from the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ this one's short and sweet and honestly kinda iconic for it.


✨ NAME ✨

s3c_fb_align_word β€” align a pixel count so it lands right on a word boundary 🫢


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int s3c_fb_align_word (unsigned int bpp , unsigned int pix );

like, that's literally the whole thing. two unsigned ints in, one int out, no drama πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • bpp β€” the number of bits per pixel 🎨 (yes, bits per pixel, that's the bpp, you already knew that)
  • pix β€” the value that's getting aligned πŸ“

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the vibe: you hand it a pixel count, and it aligns that count so it starts on a 32bit word boundary ✨ that's it, that's the whole function. no cap, some functions are just little guys doing one job and doing it slay πŸ’–
