✨ vmw_du_connector_duplicate_state(9) ✨

okay so like, welcome to the Kernel API Manual bestie 💖 this is the page for vmw_du_connector_duplicate_state, and yes the title is literally abbreviated with ... in the middle, that's just how it's printed, we don't make the rules 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_du_connector_duplicate_state — it duplicates connector state, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct drm_connector_state * vmw_du_connector_duplicate_state (struct
drm_connector *connector );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• connector — the DRM connector in question 👑 that's the thing you're handing over

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what it does is: it allocates a copy of the connector state for the connector you passed in, and hands it back to you 🫶 and like, both kinds of state get copied — the common state and the vmw-specific stuff too. no cap, the whole package ✨

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

You get the freshly allocated connector state back 💖 … or NULL if it failed 😭 that's it, that's the deal.
