vmw_stdu_bind_st(9)

💅 vmw_stdu_bind_st — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to vmw_stdu_bind_st(9), straight out of the kernel API manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility." ✨ Let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_stdu_bind_st — binds a surface to a Screen Target. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int vmw_stdu_bind_st (struct vmw_private *dev_priv , struct
       vmw_screen_target_display_unit *stdu , const struct vmw_resource *res );

like, yes, it's one function and yes, the wrapping is doing the absolute most, but we love her anyway. 💖

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev_priv — the VMW DRM device. the whole setup, the main character energy, the one everything hangs off of.
• stdu — the display unit affected. this is the girl getting the makeover. 👑
• res — the buffer to bind to the screen target. and listen: set it to NULL to blank the screen. no cap, that's the documented move. 🌈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

binding a surface to a Screen Target is the same as flipping, fr fr. that's the whole description, she's short and she knows it. 🫶

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or a -errno code on failure. slay when it's zero, 😭 when it's not.

ngl bestie, this page is short but she's complete — every arg, the NULL blank-screen rule, the return code, and the entire friend group in SEE ALSO. nothing skipped, periodt. 💀

and that's the whole page! mwah 💋 this came to you courtesy of ./drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx, dated October 2026, and yes she's filed under vmw_stdu_bind_st(9) — go drink some water and bind responsibly 🍓🧚💜
