ENUM IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… enum iwl_dbg_tlv_type β€” debug TLV types (kernel API manual, bestie)

okay so picture this: you're deep in the iwlwifi debug TLV situation and you need to know which kind of TLV you're looking at. That's literally this entire page. It's an enum, it's got seven constants, and yes we're gonna go through every single one because that's what we do here. ✨


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum iwl_dbg_tlv_type {
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_DEBUG_INFO ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_BUF_ALLOC ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_HCMD ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_REGION ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_TRIGGER ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_CONF_SET ,
    IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_NUM

};

like, that's the whole vibe. seven entries, in this exact order, no notes. 🫢


πŸŽ€ CONSTANTS πŸŽ€

bestie these are the actual members, let's meet them:

  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_DEBUG_INFO β€” the debug info TLV πŸ’–
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_BUF_ALLOC β€” the buffer allocation TLV 🌸
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_HCMD β€” the host command TLV πŸ‘‘
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_REGION β€” the region TLV πŸ¦‹
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_TRIGGER β€” the trigger TLV ⭐
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_CONF_SET β€” the conf set TLV πŸ“
  • IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_NUM β€” the number of debug TLVs πŸ”₯ (yes it's a count, not a type, she's doing double duty, we love her)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

go look at the kernel file fr fr, no cap:

  • ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwl-dbg-tlv.c
  • struct iwl_dbg_tlv_ver_data(9)
  • struct iwl_dbg_tlv_timer_node(9)

iykyk πŸ’…


okay that's the whole page. if you skimmed and only remember one thing, remember IWL_DBG_TLV_TYPE_NUM is the count, not a type. that's the trap. go forth and slay. πŸ’œ

and that's a wrap, bestie 🧚 β€” this little love letter came out of ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it lives under the name enum iwl_dbg_tlv_type(9). periodt. ✨
