OpenWF Configuration Developer's Guide
If you are integrating a new display, you must configure and provide the parameters of your display based on its specifications via the OpenWF Display Configuration API (Wfdcfg Library).
OpenWF Display Configuration Library Reference
The Wfdcfg library provides the modes and attributes of your display hardware to your display driver and to Screen. Your display driver (WFD driver) is the primary user of the Wfdcfg library, but the composition manager component in Screen also uses the modes and attributes from the Wfdcfg library.

    - Introduction to the Wfdcfg library
      The Wfdcfg library provides the modes and attributes of your display hardware to your display driver and Screen.
    - Getting the source code
      The files from the compressed Wfdcfg archive are extracted onto your host.
    - Setting timing parameters
      Timing is mandatory component of a mode.
    - Updating Wfdcfg source (adding extensions)
      You may want to update your Wfdcfg source if your display supports specific options that you want to control.
    - Building the Wfdcfg library
    - Updating your target
      After you've completed updating and building your Wfdcfg library, you are ready to rebuild your QNX IFS and transfer it to your target.
    - Configuring Screen for your display
      You need to configure your display in graphics.conf and restart Screen.

wfdcfg_ext_fn_set_power_mode_t

Graphics and Screen4.0 (8.x)OpenWF Configuration Developer's GuideAPIProgramming

Set the power mode on a port

Synopsis:

#include <wfdqnx/wfdcfg.h>

typedef int( wfdcfg_ext_fn_set_power_mode_t)(struct wfdcfg_port *port,
            enum wfdcfg_power_mode power_mode);

Library:

libwfdcfg

Description:

A function prototype for WFD drivers that choose to implement an extension when there's a request to the set power mode.

This function type must take the following arguments:

wfdcfg_port: A handle to the display port whose power mode is being set
wfdcfg_power_mode power_mode: The power mode (of type wfdcfg_power_mode) that the display port is to be set to

It must return a code from errno.h. Possible codes include:

EINVAL when an invalid port of power mode is passed
EOK on success
