ENUM DEVICE_PHYSICAL_LOCATION_VERTICAL_POSITION(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ‘‘ enum device_physical_location_vertical_position β€” Kernel API Manual energy ✨

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 πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

enum device_physical_location_vertical_position β€” literally just tells you where the device connection point sits vertically on the panel surface πŸ¦‹ like... up? middle? down? that's the whole gig. no cap.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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 πŸŽ€


πŸ’– Constants πŸ’–

  • DEVICE_VERT_POS_UPPER β€” the device connection point is at the upper part of the panel. she's up there. highkey elevated. πŸ”₯
  • DEVICE_VERT_POS_CENTER β€” the device connection point is at the center part of the panel. main character energy, dead middle, balanced, ate πŸ’…
  • DEVICE_VERT_POS_LOWER β€” the device connection point is at the lower part of the panel. down low, lowkey iconic, bottom-of-the-panel bestie 🫢

bestie this list is long and I'm not skipping a single one, so buckle up β€” all of these are from the kernel file ./include/linux/device.h:

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 🌈

pro tip from me to you: if you ever forget which way is "upper," you're overthinking it. it's up. breathe. πŸ’œ

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” no bugs, no warnings, no exit statuses, just vibes and three constants πŸ§šπŸ’–
