🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum vga_switcheroo_handler_flags_t vga_switcheroo_handler_flags (void
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• void — literally no arguments. nothing. zero. the void is voiding 😌 no cap, this function takes nothing from you.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea ☕ — this is a helper for clients to obtain the handler flags bitmask. that's it, that's the whole job. it's a little helper doing little helper things and honestly? iconic of it 👑

🌈 RETURN 🌈

it hands you back the handler flags 💫 and here's the important bit: a value of 0 means either

• that no handler is registered, or
• that the handler has no special capabilities.

so like… don't read a 0 as a fail, bestie, it's just a very chill nothing-burger 🙈
