ENUM IDPF_PTP_ACCESS(9)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to enum idpf_ptp_access(9) — the actual type of access to PTP operations 💅 that's the whole vibe. it's an enum, it's in the Kernel API Manual, and it's lowkey iconic.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum idpf_ptp_access {
    IDPF_PTP_NONE ,
    IDPF_PTP_DIRECT ,
    IDPF_PTP_MAILBOX

};

like, those are your three constants. that's the whole roster. no cap. 🎀

🌸 Constants 🌸

• IDPF_PTP_NONE — literally no access. nothing. not a single crumb of access. 🙈
• IDPF_PTP_DIRECT — direct access through BAR registers, i.e. you're going straight to the source, main character energy, no middleman 🔥
• IDPF_PTP_MAILBOX — access through mailbox messages, so you're sliding into the DMs instead of knocking on the door 💌

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie the link-up list is long and honestly kind of ate. everything lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_ptp.h, and you're gonna wanna know:
