+encoder index
+-------------
+
+encoders have both an object ID and an index, and they are not the same thing.
+The index is used in cases where a densely packed identifier for an encoder is
+needed, for instance a bitmask of encoders. The member possible_clones of struct
+drm_mode_get_encoder is an example.
+
+:c:macro:`DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES` populates a structure with an array of
+encoder IDs, and the encoder index is its position in this array.
