ENUM DIM_STEP_RESULT(9)

💅 enum dim_step_result(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, in the Kernel API Manual, and you've stumbled onto enum dim_step_result(9). Don't panic — it's actually so chill. It's giving "tiny enum, big feelings" energy and honestly it ate. Let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum dim_step_result — the DIM algorithm step results. literally just "what happened when we took a step", that's the whole vibe 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum dim_step_result {
    DIM_STEPPED ,
    DIM_TOO_TIRED ,
    DIM_ON_EDGE

};

yes bestie, three constants, no cap. here's the tea on each one 👇

💫 Constants 💫

• DIM_STEPPED — we performed a regular step. iconic, normal, nothing weird. slay ✨
• DIM_TOO_TIRED — the same kind of step was done multiple times, so like… it should go to tired parking. she's exhausted, let her rest 😭
• DIM_ON_EDGE — stepped all the way to the most left/right profile. edge case? no, edge girlie 💅

---

🦋 Description 🦋

these describe the result of a step. that's it, that's the description — they're the little receipts telling you what a step actually did. short, sweet, main character energy 👑
