STRUCT DRM_PRINT_ITERATOR(9)

💅 struct drm_print_iterator (from the Kernel API Manual, bestie)

Okay so picture this: it's a little local struct, right, and its whole entire job is to hang out with drm_printer_coredump. That's it. That's the gig. Main character energy but make it supporting cast. 🎀

✨ NAME

struct drm_print_iterator — a local struct used with drm_printer_coredump. No cap, that's literally the whole vibe check.

🌸 SYNOPSIS

struct drm_print_iterator {
    void *data;
    ssize_t start;
    ssize_t remain;
 };

Look at her. Three members. Immaculate. 🦋

💖 Members

• data — a pointer to the devcoredump output buffer. And yes, she's flexible — this can be NULL if you're using drm_printer_coredump just to figure out the size of the devcoredump. Iconic "I'm just here to measure" behaviour, we love to see it. ✨
• start — the offset within the buffer where writing kicks off. Like where in the group chat you start reading after being offline for 6 hours. 📍
• remain — the number of bytes to write for this iteration. That's the budget, bestie. Spend it wisely. 💸

Yeah that's a lot of friends. Go say hi. They're all in ./include/drm together, it's giving family reunion. 🫶

And that's the tea! ☕ This page comes to you straight from ./include/drm, dated October 2026, and it's part of the Kernel API Manual — so when you're deep in a devcoredump at 2am, know that she's out here iterating and slaying. 💜✨ Go read the whole thing, iykyk. 👑
