STRUCT DRM_TV_CONNECTOR_STATE(9)

💖 struct drm_tv_connector_state — NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's about struct drm_tv_connector_state, and it's literally the whole vibe board for TV connector related states 🎀 like, every knob your TV-ish connector has, all chillin' in one struct. iykyk 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole squad, no cap, copy it exactly bestie:

struct drm_tv_connector_state {
    enum drm_mode_subconnector select_subconnector;
    enum drm_mode_subconnector subconnector;
    struct drm_connector_tv_margins margins;
    unsigned int legacy_mode;
    unsigned int mode;
    unsigned int brightness;
    unsigned int contrast;
    unsigned int flicker_reduction;
    unsigned int overscan;
    unsigned int saturation;
    unsigned int hue;
};

look at all those unsigned ints living their best life 😭 iconic behaviour honestly 🫶

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so let's meet the cast, one by one, main character energy only 💜

• select_subconnector — the subconnector you selected. you picked it. it's the chosen one, the main character of subconnectors 👑
• subconnector — but this one? this is the subconnector that actually got detected. the vibes the hardware reported back fr fr 🔍
• margins — TV margins 🎀 (it's a whole struct drm_connector_tv_margins, very fancy of it)
• legacy_mode — Legacy TV mode, and it's a driver specific value, so like… every driver does its own thing here 🫠
• mode — TV mode, periodt ⭐
• brightness — brightness, measured in percent ✨
• contrast — contrast, also in percent 🎀
• flicker_reduction — flicker reduction, in percent — yes the field name is long, she's worth it 💅
• overscan — overscan, in percent 🌈
• saturation — saturation, in percent 🍓
• hue — hue, in percent 💜

lowkey every single percent field is in percent. the consistency?? we love to see it 🙈

ngl bestie if you skip the SEE ALSO you're only hurting yourself 💀 it's giving "homework but make it lore" and honestly? obsessed.
