STRUCT DRM_VMW_GETPARAM_ARG(9)

✨ struct drm_vmw_getparam_arg(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

Hey bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct drm_vmw_getparam_arg. It's a glow-up of a page for a very small struct, so let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct drm_vmw_getparam_arg — literally the argument struct for the DRM_VMW_GET_PARAM ioctl, and yes that's the whole name, no extra notes attached 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct drm_vmw_getparam_arg {
    __u64 value;
    __u32 param;
    __u32 pad64;
 };

Look at her. Three fields, zero drama, absolutely iconic 💖

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• value — the returned value, i.e. what you get back (//Out). This is the answer the kernel hands you, so don't show up expecting to put anything in it first 🙈
• param — the parameter you want to query</b> (//In.). You're the one who fills this in, so pick your param with intention, bestie ✨
• pad64 — the padding. It's just sitting there keeping the alignment vibe check passing, no cap 💀

---

💜 Description 💜

She's the argument to the DRM_VMW_GET_PARAM ioctl. That's the whole description and honestly? She ate. A struct whose only job is being handed to one ioctl — main character energy, lowkey 🌈

ngl, if you're looking for lore, this struct is not the place. She's a carrier. The ioctl does the work 💅
