vmw_simple_r...create_ioctl(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the vmw_simple_r...create_ioctl(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💖 vmw_simple_resource_create_ioctl is literally the helper that sets up an ioctl function to create a struct vmw_simple_resource. it's giving “glue code but make it iconic” energy, no cap 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int vmw_simple_resource_create_ioctl (struct drm_device *dev , void
*data , struct drm_file *file_priv , const struct
vmw_simple_resource_func *func );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — pointer to a struct drm device. the whole device vibe check.
• data — the ioctl argument. periodt.
• file_priv — pointer to a struct drm_file identifying the caller. she knows who's asking 👀
• func — pointer to a struct vmw_simple_resource_func identifying the simple resource type. iconic little descriptor energy.

🔥 RETURN 🔥

0 if success, and a negative error value on error. that's the whole mood: success gets 0, errors get negative values. no cap 😭
