Modeset Base Object Abstraction
===============================

:alt: Mode Objects and Properties
:caption: Mode Objects and Properties
digraph {
node [shape=box]
"drm_property A" -> "drm_mode_object A"
"drm_property A" -> "drm_mode_object B"
"drm_property B" -> "drm_mode_object A"
}
The base structure for all KMS objects is :c:type:`struct drm_mode_object
<drm_mode_object>`. One of the base services it provides is tracking properties,
which are especially important for the atomic IOCTL (see `Atomic Mode
Setting`_). The somewhat surprising part here is that properties are not
directly instantiated on each object, but free-standing mode objects themselves,
represented by :c:type:`struct drm_property <drm_property>`, which only specify
the type and value range of a property. Any given property can be attached
multiple times to different objects using :c:func:`drm_object_attach_property()
<drm_object_attach_property>`.
