ENUM DPSW_ACTION(9)

💅 enum dpsw_action(9) — like, the whole Kernel API Manual page but make it make sense

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's about one tiny little enum that decides what happens to your special/control frames. it's giving "small but mighty" energy ngl 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum dpsw_action — the action-selection situation for special/control frames 👑

like, when a special frame or a control frame shows up, this enum is literally the thing that decides its fate. main character decision-making energy fr fr 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum dpsw_action {
    DPSW_ACTION_DROP ,
    DPSW_ACTION_REDIRECT

};

that's the whole thing! just two (2) constants in the roster, no more no less. she's compact, she's iconic, she slays 😌

---

🦋 Constants 🦋

so here's the vibe check on each constant in the enum:

• DPSW_ACTION_DROP — drop the frame. that's it, that's the whole job. the frame simply does not get to continue, bye bye 👋💀
• DPSW_ACTION_REDIRECT — redirect the frame to the control port. not dropped, just… rerouted bestie, she's going somewhere else 🌈
