💅 vmw_send_define_cursor_cmd(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual — and it's giving "queue a define cursor command" energy. no cap, it's a tiny kernel API moment and we're gonna get you through it. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_send_define_cursor_cmd — queue a define cursor command. literally the whole name, and the whole job. 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the exact signature, bestie — don't let the spacing jump-scare you:

void vmw_send_define_cursor_cmd (struct vmw_private *dev_priv , u32
*image , u32 width , u32 height , u32 hotspotX , u32 hotspotY );

it's void, so no return value is coming back to you. it queues the command, periodt. ✨

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

okay, the cast of characters — six args, all iconic, all necessary:

• dev_priv — the private driver struct. that's the driver's own lil private zone. 🫶
• image — buffer which holds the cursor image. yes bestie, the cursor image lives here. ✨
• width — width of the mouse cursor image. how wide the vibe is. 📏
• height — height of the mouse cursor image. how tall the vibe is. 📏
• hotspotX — the horizontal position of mouse hotspot. x marks the spot. 🎯
• hotspotY — the vertical position of mouse hotspot. y marks the spot too. 🎯
