vmw_cmd_dx_c...rtarget_view(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view — a whole page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9

okay so bestie, buckle up 🎀 this is a kernel API man page, specifically vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view(9), and it lives in the Kernel API Manual. It's one of those little validation helpers chilling in the vmwgfx driver, and honestly? she's small but she matters.

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view — literally her whole job is to validate the SVGA_3D_CMD_DX_CLEAR_RENDERTARGET_VIEW command. that's it. that's the gig. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view (struct vmw_private *dev_priv ,
struct vmw_sw_context *sw_context , SVGA3dCmdHeader *header );

she takes three (3) arguments and hands you back an int. no cap. 💅

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • dev_priv — Pointer to a device private struct. this is the device's own little diary of private data 🫶
  • sw_context — The software context being used for this batch. it's the context girlie handling this specific batch, okurrr ✨
  • header — Pointer to the command header in the command stream. your lil entry point into the command stream 💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

before you go — the source file for all of this is the kernel file ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/vmwgfx_execbuf.c, and here's the entire friend group she runs with (no gatekeeping, everyone's invited, and yes i listed all of them because i don't do "etc." 😤):

like... the whole execbuf cinematic universe, fr fr 🌈⭐

ok that's the entire page, nothing skipped, every single cross-reference included. go read the source if you want the ✨lore✨ — the code never lies, bestie 💅

and that's a wrap!! 🫶 sign-off time: this icon lives over in ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, the manual is dated October 2026, and she's page vmw_cmd_dx_clear_rendertarget_view(9) of the Kernel API Manual. slay, stay validated, and remember — a command stream is only as cute as the checks that guard it 🎀💖✨
