ENUM DEVICE_PHYSICAL_LOCATION_PANEL(9)

💖 enum device_physical_location_panel(9) 💖

welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie — this one is literally about figuring out which panel surface of the system's housing the device connection point resides on. It's giving "where exactly is this port living" energy, and honestly? Iconic. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the shape of it is exactly this, no cap:

enum device_physical_location_panel {
    DEVICE_PANEL_TOP ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_BOTTOM ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_LEFT ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_RIGHT ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_FRONT ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_BACK ,
    DEVICE_PANEL_UNKNOWN

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• DEVICE_PANEL_TOP — the device connection point is on the top panel. top-panel realness, slay. 🌸
• DEVICE_PANEL_BOTTOM — the device connection point is on the bottom panel. lowkey underrated. 🦋
• DEVICE_PANEL_LEFT — the device connection point is on the left panel. left-side bestie behavior. 💜
• DEVICE_PANEL_RIGHT — the device connection point is on the right panel. right-side icon energy. ✨
• DEVICE_PANEL_FRONT — the device connection point is on the front panel. front-facing main character vibes. 💅
• DEVICE_PANEL_BACK — the device connection point is on the back panel. back-panel business, iykyk. 🎀
• DEVICE_PANEL_UNKNOWN — the panel with device connection point is unknown. not knowing is valid, but it's literally the unknown option. 😭

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay bestie, if you're going on a kernel deep-dive, the Kernel file is ./include/linux/device.h, and the whole SEE ALSO squad is: struct subsys_interface(9), struct device_attribute(9), struct dev_ext_attribute(9), DEVICE_ATTR(9), DEVICE_ATTR_RW(9), DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RW(9), DEVICE_ATTR_RW_NAMED(9), DEVICE_ATTR_RO(9), DEVICE_ATTR_ADMIN_RO(9), DEVICE_ATTR_RO_NAMED(9), DEVICE_ATTR_WO(9), DEVICE_ATTR_WO_NAMED(9), DEVICE_ULONG_ATTR(9), DEVICE_INT_ATTR(9), DEVICE_BOOL_ATTR(9), DEVICE_STRING_ATTR_RO(9), enum device_link_state(9), enum dl_dev_state(9), enum device_removable(9), struct dev_links_info(9), struct dev_msi_info(9), enum device_physical_location_vertical_position(9), enum device_physical_location_horizontal_position(9), struct device_physical_location(9), enum struct_device_flags(9), struct device(9), struct device_link(9), device_set_driver_override(9), device_has_driver_override(9), device_match_driver_override(9), device_iommu_mapped(9), dev_name(9), dev_bus_name(9), device_find_child_by_name(9), device_find_any_child(9), device_lock_set_class(9), device_lock_reset_class(9).
