17 drmModeGetResources allocates, populates, and returns a drmModeRes
18 structure containing information about the current display
19 configuration. The structure contains the following fields:
20
21 typedef struct _drmModeRes {
22 int count_fbs;
23 uint32_t *fbs;
24
25 int count_crtcs;
26 uint32_t *crtcs;
27
28 int count_connectors;
29 uint32_t *connectors;
30
31 int count_encoders;
32 uint32_t *encoders;
33
34 uint32_t min_width, max_width;
35 uint32_t min_height, max_height;
36 } drmModeRes, *drmModeResPtr;
37
38 The count_fbs and fbs fields indicate the number of currently allocated
39 framebuffer objects (i.e., objects that can be attached to a given CRTC
40 or sprite for display).
41
42 The count_crtcs and crtcs fields list the available CRTCs in the
43 configuration. A CRTC is simply an object that can scan out a
44 framebuffer to a display sink, and contains mode timing and relative
45 position information. CRTCs drive encoders, which are responsible for
46 converting the pixel stream into a specific display protocol (e.g.,
47 MIPI or HDMI).
48
49 The count_connectors and connectors fields list the available physical
50 connectors on the system. Note that some of these may not be exposed
51 from the chassis (e.g., LVDS or eDP). Connectors are attached to
52 encoders and contain information about the attached display sink (e.g.,
53 width and height in mm, subpixel ordering, and various other
54 properties).
55
56 The count_encoders and encoders fields list the available encoders on
57 the device. Each encoder may be associated with a CRTC, and may be used
58 to drive a particular encoder.
59
60 The min* and max* fields indicate the maximum size of a framebuffer for
61 this device (i.e., the scanout size limit).
62
64 drmModeGetResources returns a drmModeRes structure pointer on success,
65 NULL on failure. The returned structure must be freed with
66 drmModeFreeResources(3).
