🌸 uvd_v6_0_enc_support(9) 🌸

okay so real talk — this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one tiny little function that answers one giant question: can this GPU encode or not? bestie, it's giving "small function, huge responsibility" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

uvd_v6_0_enc_support — get the encode support status, that's literally it, that's the whole job 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool uvd_v6_0_enc_support (struct amdgpu_device *adev );

the way that return type is just bool… no drama, no structs, just yes or no. iconic honestly 💖

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • adev — an amdgpu_device pointer. that's your whole ticket in, bestie 🎟️

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Returns the current hardware encode support status. like, the current one — not last week's, not the one from before the hardware changed its mind. it's a vibe check on your silicon, and the answer comes back as a bool 🔥

no cap, that's the entire description. some functions are novellas, this one's a text message 🫶

⭐ SEE ALSO ⭐

the kernel file where all this lives:

./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/uvd_v6_0.c

and the whole friend group, fr fr 👑

like, go read them too, they're all part of the same era of the driver and they all eat 🍓

ngl the whole page is short but that's the point — not every function needs a lore drop 😭

and that's a wrap, bestie! this one comes to you from ./drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu, dated October 2026, living its best life as uvd_v6_0_enc_support(9). slay, stay hydrated, and may your bool always come back true 💀🌸✨
