I'm not sure what is confusing, but I can add a comment if needed. > The above is precisely the same as: > > str_has_prefix(str, cmp) == len Here, it's used to make sure we don't have a named mode starting with either e, d, or D. If I understood str_has_prefix() right, str_has_prefix("DUMB-MODE", "D") == strlen("DUMB-MODE") would return true, while it's actually what we want to avoid. It's also used indeed in drm_get_tv_mode_from_name(), where we try to match a list of names with one passed as argument. With drm_get_tv_mode_from_name("NSTC", strlen("NTSC")), we would end up calling str_has_prefix("NTSC-J", "NTSC") == strlen("NTSC-J") which would work. However, we end up calling prefix not a prefix, but an entire string we want to match against, which is very confusing to me too. Maxime
