ENUM HANTRO_CODEC_MODE(9)

💅 enum hantro_codec_mode(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (the enum hantro_codec_mode(9) one, yes that one 🎀) and it's literally about one thing: which operating mode a Hantro codec is in. that's it. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

enum hantro_codec_mode — codec operating mode. periodt. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole enum, copy-pasted exactly because we do not mess with the source:

enum hantro_codec_mode {
    HANTRO_MODE_NONE ,
    HANTRO_MODE_JPEG_ENC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_H264_DEC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_MPEG2_DEC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_VP8_DEC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_HEVC_DEC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_VP9_DEC ,
    HANTRO_MODE_AV1_DEC

};

like, look at her. eight constants, zero notes, all business 🫶

👑 Constants 👑

okay these are the constants and ngl each one is a whole personality:

• HANTRO_MODE_NONE — no operating mode at all. she's off duty 🛌 used for RAW video formats.
• HANTRO_MODE_JPEG_ENC — JPEG encoder. iconic little encoder behavior 💖
• HANTRO_MODE_H264_DEC — H264 decoder. the classic. the main character 🔥
• HANTRO_MODE_MPEG2_DEC — MPEG-2 decoder. vintage queen 👑
• HANTRO_MODE_VP8_DEC — VP8 decoder. she's doing her thing ✨
• HANTRO_MODE_HEVC_DEC — HEVC decoder. efficiency icon 🧚
• HANTRO_MODE_VP9_DEC — VP9 decoder. slay 💅
• HANTRO_MODE_AV1_DEC — AV1 decoder. no period at the end in the original and I'm respecting that fr fr 🌈

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

go read these next, bestie, they're all in the kernel file ./drivers/media/platform/verisilicon/hantro.h:

• struct hantro_irq(9)
• struct hantro_variant(9)
• struct hantro_dev(9)
• struct hantro_ctx(9)
• struct hantro_fmt(9)
• hantro_debug: Module parameter to control level of debugging messages.(9)

the way that last one is a whole sentence crammed into a reference. whatever. it ate. 😭
