STRUCT VKMS_DEVICE(9)

💖 struct vkms_device(9) — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you clicked into struct vkms_device and you're like "what IS this" — don't worry, it's just the little home base for a VKMS device. Description of a VKMS device, that's the whole vibe. iykyk 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of it, exactly as it lives, no cap:

struct vkms_device {
    struct drm_device drm;
    struct faux_device *faux_dev;
    const struct vkms_config *config;
 };

three members, all main characters. 🎀

---

🌸 Members 🌸

• config — the Configuration used in this VKMS device 👑

---

🦋 Description 🦋

so like, breaking it down member by member because that's what we do here:

• drm — the Base device in DRM 💅
• faux_dev — the Associated faux device 🔥
• output — the Configuration and sub-components of the VKMS device ✨

not me pointing out that output shows up here in the Description but isn't in the Members list above — that's just how the page is, so i'm keeping it fr fr 🫶
