STRUCT CEC_CONNECTOR_INFO(9)

✨ struct cec_connector_info(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's a little struct from the kernel headers and it's literally the vibe check for whether your CEC adapter has a connector attached, and which one. periodt.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct cec_connector_info — tells if and which connector is associated with the CEC adapter.

like, it's the little matchmaker struct 🫶. it answers "is there a connector? and which one?" no cap.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct cec_connector_info {
    __u32 type;
    union {
      struct cec_drm_connector_info drm;
      __u32 raw[16];
    };
 };

yes the indentation is a little quirky, she's iconic like that 💅

🦋 Members 🦋

• type — the connector type, if there even is one (if any). it's a __u32. slay.
• {unnamed_union} — an anonymous union. no name, all main character energy 👑.
• drm — the drm connector info, typed as struct cec_drm_connector_info. this is where the actual DRM details live ✨.
• raw — an array of __u32 (raw[16]) that's just there to pad the union. lowkey the padding queen 🎀.
