💅 vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is straight outta the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl(9). No cap, it's an ioctl function page, and we are keeping every single detail cute and intact. 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl — Ioctl function implementing the user surface define functionality.

That's it, that's the name. iconic. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       int vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl (struct drm_device *dev , void *data ,
       struct drm_file *file_priv );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

okay so this function takes three arguments, and they are giving "kernel ioctl core cast" energy:

• dev — Pointer to a struct drm_device.
• data — Pointer to data copied from / to user-space.
• file_priv — Pointer to a drm file private structure.
