vkms_config_create_plane(9)

💅 vkms_config_create_plane(9) — the "make me a new plane" era

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for vkms_config_create_plane. This is the one that ✨spawns✨ a brand-new plane config for you. Iconic. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

vkms_config_create_plane — adds a shiny new plane configuration to the pile 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vkms_config_plane * vkms_config_create_plane (struct vkms_config
*config );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she's short and she slays 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• config — the configuration you're adding the plane to. like, the vibes-container. the plane goes in here ✨

---

💖 RETURN 💖

you get back the new plane configuration, or an error — so do a vibe check on that pointer before you go using it, bestie 😭

🚨 important reminder: when you're done with the returned plane configuration, call vkms_config_destroy_plane to free it. that's the cleanup era. do NOT skip it, that's a memory leak and leaks are not it 💀
