STRUCT S3C_FB_WIN(9)

💅 struct s3c_fb_win(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so you opened the Kernel API Manual page for struct s3c_fb_win(9) and honestly? iconic choice. this is the per-window private-data glow-up for every framebuffer, and we're gonna walk through it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct s3c_fb_win — per window private data for each framebuffer. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the struct in all its glory, no cap, copy it exactly:

struct s3c_fb_win {
    struct s3c_fb_pd_win    *windata;
    struct s3c_fb           *parent;
    struct fb_info          *fbinfo;
    struct s3c_fb_palette    palette;
    struct s3c_fb_win_variant variant;
    u32 *palette_buffer;
    u32 pseudo_palette[16];
    unsigned int             index;
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

bestie, let's meet the whole cast 😭 each one is a main character:

• windata — the platform data that got supplied for the window configuration. it's giving "here's everything you need to set me up" ✨
• parent — the hardware that this window is part of. yes, every window has a parent, and that parent is the literal silicon 💀
• fbinfo — a pointer to the framebuffer info for this window. (the og says "pointer pack" — we love a typo era, but it's a pointer, fr fr 🙈)
• palette — the bitfields for turning r/g/b into a hardware palette entry. color math slay 🌈
• variant — the variant information for this window. lowkey essential, highkey underrated 👑
• palette_buffer — buffer/cache to hold palette entries. the storage baddie 🎀
• pseudo_palette — for use in TRUECOLOUR modes for entries 0..15. sixteen little slots of pure potential 💜
• index — the window number of this window. yes it's a window numbering itself, it's giving self-aware 😭

ngl, if you're poking at framebuffer windows on an s3c platform, you're gonna be living in ./drivers/video/fbdev/s3c-fb.c. go read it, it's right there 🧚

and that's the page!! footer energy for the win: this lives under ./drivers/video/fbdev, dated October 2026, and it's the struct s3c_fb_win(9) page of the Kernel API Manual. periodt 💅⭐
