ENUM ATH5K_TX_QUEUE_SUBTYPE(9)

✨ enum ath5k_tx_queue_subtype(9) ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally about enum ath5k_tx_queue_subtype — the little enum that tags up queue sub-types so normal data queues know what vibe they're on. 🎀

---

💅 NAME 💅

enum ath5k_tx_queue_subtype — these are the queue sub-types used to classify normal data queues. that's it, that's the whole job. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum ath5k_tx_queue_subtype {
    AR5K_WME_AC_BK ,
    AR5K_WME_AC_BE ,
    AR5K_WME_AC_VI ,
    AR5K_WME_AC_VO

};

like, four constants, no chaos, we love a tidy enum. 💖

---

🌸 Constants 🌸

• AR5K_WME_AC_BK — background traffic. the chill, lowkey stuff hanging out in the back. 🙈
• AR5K_WME_AC_BE — best-effort (normal) traffic. the main character of this enum, fr fr. ⭐
• AR5K_WME_AC_VI — video traffic. she's got places to be and frames to deliver. 🔥
• AR5K_WME_AC_VO — voice traffic. top of the food chain, no cap. 👑

---

🌈 Description 🌈

so these are the 4 Access Categories as defined in the WME spec. bestie, pay attention to the numbering: 0 is the lowest priority and 4 is the highest — that's the scale. 💀

and here's the part that matters: normal data that hasn't been classified goes to the Best Effort AC. so if nobody claimed it, it lands in AR5K_WME_AC_BE. iconic default behavior, honestly. 🫶
