s3c_fb_alloc_memory(9)
π NAME π
s3c_fb_alloc_memory β okay so this one literally just allocates display memory for a framebuffer window, bestie β¨
It's a kernel API manual page, and yes we're getting into it π
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
int s3c_fb_alloc_memory (struct s3c_fb *sfb , struct s3c_fb_win *win );
That's the whole vibe. Two pointers in, an int out π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
sfbβ the base resources for the hardware, like the main character of this whole operation πwinβ the window whose memory we're about to initialise, aka the one getting set up π
β DESCRIPTION β
So the entire job here? Allocate memory for the given framebuffer. That's it, that's the function π No cap, it's a short one β but an important one, because nothing renders without the memory, periodt.
π SEE ALSO π
The kernel file lives right here, bestie: ./drivers/video/fbdev/s3c-fb.c ποΈ
And here's the whole friend group β the structs:

Okay that's the whole page, bestie β go touch some framebuffer memory π This lil' transmission came from ./drivers/video/fbdev, dated October 2026, out of the Kernel API Manual β mwah, see you in the next one ππβ¨
