ENUM BIOS_SOURCE(9)

💅 enum bios_source(9) — like, the tea on where your BIOS data came from 🎀

okay bestie, pull up a chair, because we're digging into enum bios_source from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-iconic. it literally just tells you where the BIOS data came from. that's the whole vibe. no cap. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum bios_source — source of bios data 🧚

the way that this enum is small but mighty... we love a minimal queen 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the literal shape of it, bestie, copy it exactly:

enum bios_source {
    BIOS_SOURCE_NONE ,
    BIOS_SOURCE_ACPI ,
    BIOS_SOURCE_UEFI

};

look at that. three constants. clean. elegant. ate and left no crumbs 💅

---

⭐ CONSTANTS ⭐

okay so these are the three possible moods this enum can be in, and yes they're all important, don't skip:

• BIOS_SOURCE_NONE — BIOS source is not defined 🙈 it's the "idk her" option, truly the vibe of a source that hasn't been decided yet
• BIOS_SOURCE_ACPI — BIOS source is ACPI 💖 the classic, the original flavor
• BIOS_SOURCE_UEFI — BIOS source is UEFI 🔥 the modern main character

highkey obsessed with how each one is literally just a one-liner. no drama, no lore, just facts ✨

alright, buckle up buttercup, because this list is long and we're listing every single one — no skipping, no summarising, that's the rule 🫶

first up, the file itself lives here:

like?? forty entries?? she's popular, she has connections, iykyk 😭💀

ngl bestie, this is a lot of cross-references — if you're chasing all of them down in one sitting, hydrate, stretch, and take breaks. self-care is kernel-doc reading too 🌈

🎀 the cute little sign-off 🎀

that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and absolutely serving 🍓

this one ships out of the kernel source tree at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 ✨ go forth and know where your BIOS data came from, you absolute icon 👑💖
