ENUM IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_TYPE(9)

💅 enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_type(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_type ✨ lowkey it's the enum that decides how much gets dumped, based on a size that the FW defines. that's it, that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_type — Determines dump type based on size defined by FW. periodt 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_type {
    IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_BRIEF ,
    IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_MEDIUM ,
    IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_VERBOSE

};

like, three constants, three moods, one enum. icon behavior honestly 👑

🎀 Constants 🎀

• IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_BRIEF — the minimalist era 🧚 only dumps the most important regions. keeping it cute, keeping it small.
• IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_MEDIUM — the middle child 🫶 dumps more regions than "brief", but not all of them. balanced, as all things should be.
• IWL_FW_INI_DUMP_VERBOSE — main character energy 🔥 dumps all the regions. no crumbs left, we're getting everything.

ngl bestie, if you ever forget which dump level you're on, just remember: brief = snack, medium = meal, verbose = entire buffet 😭🍓

and that's the page!! sourced from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yes it's truncated like that, don't come for me 🙈), dated October 2026, and it lives at enum iwl_fw_ini_dump_type(9) forever and ever. slay 💜🌈
