vmw_surface_min_loc(9)

💅 vmw_surface_min_loc(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about vmw_surface_min_loc — literally the start location in a subresource 🎀 no cap, that's the whole vibe.

🌸 NAME 🌸

vmw_surface_min_loc — the start location in a subresource ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void vmw_surface_min_loc (const struct vmw_surface_cache *cache , u32
sub_resource , struct vmw_surface_loc *loc );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cache — the surface layout data, aka the whole blueprint of how this surface is laid out 🗺️
• sub_resource — the subresource in question, a u32 bestie 💫
• loc — a pointer to a struct vmw_surface_loc that gets filled in 🫶 that's the whole point, it's giving "here's your location, queen"
