STRUCT DRM_MODE_LIST_LESSEES(9)

✨ struct drm_mode_list_lessees 💅

okay so we're deep in the Kernel API Manual (section 9, bestie, we're in the kernel now) and today's main character is struct drm_mode_list_lessees — literally just a little struct whose whole job is listing lessees. iconic behavior, honestly.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_mode_list_lessees — List lessees ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct drm_mode_list_lessees {
    __u32 count_lessees;
    __u32 pad;
    __u64 lessees_ptr;
 };

ok so it's giving very small struct, very demure, three fields, no cap. let's break it down field by field 🫶

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• count_lessees — the number of lessees. and the way this is a two-way street?? on input it gives the length of the array, and on output it gives the total number. no more than the input number will be written back, so you can totally do the classic two-call thing: one call to get the size, then another call to get the actual data. lowkey genius ✨
• pad — padding. that's it. that's the whole field. it's there, it's padded, it's doing its thing 🎀
• lessees_ptr — pointer to lessees. more specifically, a pointer to a __u64 array of lessee ids. so like, an array of ids, pointed at. you got this 💖

---

👑 Description 👑

List lesses from a drm_master. yes bestie, "lesses" — that's what the page says, and we are not correcting it, we're just vibing with it. (it's lessees. we know it's lessees. the manpage knows it's lessees. moving on 💀)

like, the whole drm_mode.h friend group showed up. we love a supportive cast 👑

ngl if you're here you probably want the lease trio (create_lease, get_lease, revoke_lease) — this struct is the "who even has a lease rn" one. go read those, they're right there in SEE ALSO, iykyk 🧚
