vmw_stream(9)

💅 vmw_stream(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're reading kernel API docs together, this is our bonding time now 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

vmw_stream — the little glow-up that typecasts a struct vmw_resource into a struct vmw_stream 💖

Like, it's giving "same energy, different outfit" — you hand it a resource pointer and it hands you back the stream version. Iconic behavior honestly ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct vmw_stream * vmw_stream (struct vmw_resource *res );

that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• res — a pointer to the struct vmw_resource, aka the thing you're casting from. Hand it over, she takes it from there 💅

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It returns a pointer to the struct vmw_stream 🔥 no cap, that's the whole return value — the typecast result, served fresh 👑
