This is libdrm, a userspace library for accessing the DRM, direct rendering
|
|
manager, on Linux, BSD and other operating systems that support the
|
|
ioctl interface.
|
|
The library provides wrapper functions for the ioctls to avoid exposing the
|
|
kernel interface directly, and for chipsets with drm memory manager,
|
|
support for tracking relocations and buffers.
|
|
New functionality in the kernel DRM drivers typically requires a new libdrm,
|
|
but a new libdrm will always work with an older kernel.
|
|
|
|
libdrm is a low-level library, typically used by graphics drivers such as
|
|
the Mesa drivers, the X drivers, libva and similar projects.
