vmw_du_plane...licate_state(9)

💅 vmw_du_plane_duplicate_state(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and its whole name is vmw_du_plane_duplicate_state(9). say it with me now 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_du_plane_duplicate_state — duplicate plane state 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct drm_plane_state * vmw_du_plane_duplicate_state (struct drm_plane
*plane );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• plane — the drm plane. that's her. that's the main character 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So basically this function allocates a copy of the plane state for the plane you handed it — and not just the common bits, the vmw-specific bits too, both of them, together, slay 🔥 Then it returns that copy to you. It's giving "dupe it and give it back," and honestly? iconic.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

You get the newly allocated plane state back 💫 — or NULL on failure 😭 (yeah, she can flop, that's just how it is).
