ENUM ICVS_RESOURCES(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… enum icvs_resources(9) β€” a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about enum icvs_resources β€” literally just a device capability / resource category situation. bestie, it's a whole enum and it's lowkey important, so let's get into it ✨


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum icvs_resources {
    ICVS_NOTSUP ,
    ICVS_LIGHTCAP ,
    ICVS_FULLCAP

};

like, that's the whole thing. three constants, no drama πŸŽ€


🌸 Constants

  • ICVS_NOTSUP β€” capability not supported / not yet determined. it's giving "we don't know yet, don't ask me" πŸ™ˆ
  • ICVS_LIGHTCAP β€” light capability (limited GPIO / no dedicated wake IRQ). the budget-friendly version, fr fr.
  • ICVS_FULLCAP β€” full capability (reset GPIO, wake IRQ, extended protocol). the full package, main character energy πŸ‘‘

πŸ¦‹ Description πŸ¦‹

so what this enum actually does: it categorizes hardware resource availability, and that categorization influences protocol features β€” things like reset control, wake IRQ, and GPIO mediated ownership. iykyk πŸ’…

light capability devices expose a reduced set of control GPIOs. full capability devices? they provide all the optional signals and features. iconic behavior honestly.

and NOTSUP represents an unsupported or uninitialized state β€” like when the hardware hasn't told you what it is yet, so it's just vibing in the unknown 🌈
