ENUM DEVICE_PHYSICAL_LOCATION_VERTICAL_POSITION(9)
π enum device_physical_location_vertical_position β Kernel API Manual energy β¨
okay bestie, so this is one of those pages from the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely so simple you're gonna slay it in like ten seconds, but we're still gonna do it properly because that's the vibe π
πΈ NAME πΈ
enum device_physical_location_vertical_position β literally just tells you where the device connection point sits vertically on the panel surface π¦ like... up? middle? down? that's the whole gig. no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
enum device_physical_location_vertical_position {
DEVICE_VERT_POS_UPPER ,
DEVICE_VERT_POS_CENTER ,
DEVICE_VERT_POS_LOWER
};
look at her. three constants. zero drama. icon behavior tbh π
π Constants π
DEVICE_VERT_POS_UPPERβ the device connection point is at the upper part of the panel. she's up there. highkey elevated. π₯DEVICE_VERT_POS_CENTERβ the device connection point is at the center part of the panel. main character energy, dead middle, balanced, ate πDEVICE_VERT_POS_LOWERβ the device connection point is at the lower part of the panel. down low, lowkey iconic, bottom-of-the-panel bestie π«Ά

like I said. a whole friend group. go say hi to the horizontal-position one especially, she's the sibling of this page fr fr π
pro tip from me to you: if you ever forget which way is "upper," you're overthinking it. it's up. breathe. π
and that's the whole page, bestie β no bugs, no warnings, no exit statuses, just vibes and three constants π§π
