💖 vmw_connector_mode_valid(9) 💖

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this is the page for vmw_connector_mode_valid(9), and it's basically the vibe check for DRM display modes. short page, but it ate. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_connector_mode_valid — implements the drm_connector_helper_funcs.mode_valid callback. no cap, that's the whole name situation. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum drm_mode_status vmw_connector_mode_valid (struct drm_connector
*connector , const struct drm_display_mode *mode );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• connector — the drm connector, and it's part of a DU container. yes bestie, that's literally the description. 🫶
• mode — the drm mode to check. that's it, that's the assignment. ✅

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns MODE_OK on success, or a drm_mode_status error code. iconic behavior, honestly — short, sweet, and to the point. 💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
