💅 vmw_sou_crtc_atomic_disable — the kernel API manual, bestie edition

okay so real talk, you're looking at vmw_sou_crtc_atomic_disable(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a little icon. short page, big "turn the screen off" energy. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_sou_crtc_atomic_disable — Turns off CRTC

that's it. that's the whole job. she turns the CRTC off, she doesn't overexplain, she doesn't do small talk. main character energy fr fr 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void vmw_sou_crtc_atomic_disable (struct drm_crtc *crtc , struct
drm_atomic_commit *state );

so she returns void (no return value, no little gift for you at the end, she just does the thing and dips 🫶) and she takes two arguments. let's meet them 👇

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• crtc — the CRTC to be turned off. this is the one. the whole point. the main character of this function. you hand her a struct drm_crtc * and she's like "say less, it's off now" 🔥
• state — Unused. literally unused. she's invited to the party but she's not doing anything, she's just standing there looking pretty 😭 ngl it's giving "tagged along with the group but didn't order anything." still gotta pass it tho, the signature says so.
