ENUM IONIC_LIF_STATE(9)

✨ enum ionic_lif_state(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's literally just vibes about one lil enum: enum ionic_lif_state. That's it, that's the whole page. Sit down, hydrate, let's go 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum ionic_lif_state — LIF state, the whole thing, that's the girl

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum ionic_lif_state {
    IONIC_LIF_QUIESCE ,
    IONIC_LIF_ENABLE ,
    IONIC_LIF_DISABLE

};

like yes, the commas are exactly where they are, don't @ me 💅

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so there are exactly three (3) members and they are giving very much "state machine but make it minimal":

• IONIC_LIF_QUIESCE — LIF Quiesced. she's quiet, she's resting, she's not doing the thing rn 😴
• IONIC_LIF_ENABLE — LIF enabled. awake, online, main character energy ✨
• IONIC_LIF_DISABLE — LIF disabled. off duty, do not perceive her 🙈

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

ngl the guest list here is enormous — literally the whole ionic family reunion. The kernel file in question is ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_if.h, and honestly just look at all these icons 👑
