ENUM IWL_PNVM_SOURCE(9)

🦋 enum iwl_pnvm_source(9) — bestie's guide to PNVM sources

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just about one little enum, but it's kind of iconic ngl. It's enum iwl_pnvm_source, and the whole vibe is: where can a PNVM come from? Turns out there are four possible answers and the enum is obsessed with listing all of them ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_pnvm_source — all the different PNVM possible sources, bestie 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum iwl_pnvm_source {
    IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_NONE ,
    IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_BIOS ,
    IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_EXTERNAL ,
    IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_EMBEDDED

};

that's the whole thing. four constants. no cap, that's it 🫶

✨ Constants ✨

• IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_NONE — literally no PNVM. none. zero. the void. 😭
• IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_BIOS — the PNVM should be read from the BIOS 💻
• IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_EXTERNAL — read the .pnvm external file 📂
• IWL_PNVM_SOURCE_EMBEDDED — the PNVM is embedded in the .ucode file, snug as a bug 🧚

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/pnvm.c — go read it, iykyk 📖

and that's the page, bestie!! 🌈 it's from the ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... source, dated October 2026, and it's titled enum iwl_pnvm_source(9) in the Kernel API Manual 💖 slay, go forth and source your PNVMs responsibly 💅🔥
