okay so bestie, welcome to the sysfb_handles_screen_info(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a vibe check for your framebuffer 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sysfb_handles_screen_info — the little function that reports if sysfb handles the global screen_info 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool sysfb_handles_screen_info (void );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — no arguments, bestie. literally none. it takes nothing and it slays 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the way this works is, callers can use sysfb_handles_screen_info to figure out whether the Generic System Framebuffers (sysfb) can handle the global screen_info data structure or not 🔥

drivers might lowkey need this info to know if they have to set up the system framebuffer themselves, or if they have to delegate that whole action to sysfb instead 🫶 like, whose job is it? this function tells you. no cap.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

it returns True if sysfb handles the global screen_info data structure ✨ that's it, that's the answer, slay 💖
