vkms_config_...te_connector(9)

💅 vkms_config_create_connector(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page bestie 🎀

Okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one little function that makes a whole new connector config. Yes bestie, connector, like the thing that plugs into stuff. It's giving "build-a-bear but for DRM". 🧚✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vkms_config_create_connector — add a new connector configuration. That's it, that's the job. No cap. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct vkms_config_connector * vkms_config_create_connector (struct
vkms_config *config );

Look at her. One function, one pointer in, one fancy struct pointer out. Iconic. 🌈

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• config — the configuration you're adding the connector to. Like, the config is the main character and your new connector is joining the group chat. 🫶

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

You get back the new connector configuration… or an error. 🙈 That's the vibe check — sometimes you slay, sometimes you get an error back.

⚠️ Real talk bestie: when you're done with the connector configuration, call vkms_config_destroy_connector to free it. Don't just ghost it, okay? That's a leak. Free your memory. 😭

Mwah 💋 that's the whole page, bestie. This gem lives in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vkms, it's from the Kernel API Manual, and it's dated October 2026 — so, like, future core but still fr fr accurate. Periodt. ⭐💖🎀
