ENUM IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE(9)

💅 enum ionic_port_pause_type(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up

okay so this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally all about enum ionic_port_pause_type — aka the Ethernet pause (flow control) modes. bestie, it's giving "small enum, big responsibilities" and honestly we're obsessed 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum ionic_port_pause_type — Ethernet pause (flow control) modes 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole girl, verbatim, no edits:

enum ionic_port_pause_type {
    IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_NONE ,
    IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_LINK ,
    IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_PFC

};

three constants, zero notes, periodt 💅

---

💖 Constants 💖

• IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_NONE — Disable Pause. literally just turn the whole pause thing off, nothing to see here 🙈
• IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_LINK — Link level pause. the classic whole-link flow control vibe 🔥
• IONIC_PORT_PAUSE_TYPE_PFC — Priority-Flow Control. fancy per-priority flow control, main character energy fr fr 👑

---

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

so the header file for all of this lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensando/ionic/ionic_if.h, and it is thriving with friends — like, the whole ionic family showed up. no cap, here's the full guest list 😭💜

and that's the whole page, bestie — no more notes, no bugs, no exit statuses hiding anywhere, it's a clean enum and she knows it ✨

cute sign-off time: this lil beauty comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/pensand... (that's the source/version trailing bit, yes it's truncated in the original too, don't come for me 💀), dated October 2026, and she's officially enum ionic_port_pause_type(9) — slay, ate, no crumbs 🌈⭐💖
