ENUM IWL_TRANS_STATE(9)

💅 enum iwl_trans_state — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is the manual page for enum iwl_trans_state, which lives in the Kernel API Manual. and before you ask — yes it's exactly what it sounds like: it's the state of the transport layer. that's the whole vibe. three little constants, one big mood. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_trans_state — state of the transport layer. periodt. that's the job. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum iwl_trans_state {
    IWL_TRANS_NO_FW ,
    IWL_TRANS_FW_STARTED ,
    IWL_TRANS_FW_ALIVE

};

look at her. three states, no notes. 🦋

🧚 Constants 🧚

so these are the constants, and honestly they tell a whole little story arc, iykyk:

• IWL_TRANS_NO_FW — firmware wasn't started yet, or it crashed 😭 that's it, that's the state. either it never got going or it went down. both land you right here.
• IWL_TRANS_FW_STARTED — FW was started, but it's not alive yet. it's giving "woke up but hasn't had coffee" energy 🙈
• IWL_TRANS_FW_ALIVE — FW has sent an alive response ⭐ iconic. we love a confirmation. this is the main character state, no cap.

lowkey important: these are exact constant names, bestie — use them character-for-character. no renaming, no "fixing", no cute little abbreviations. the compiler does not find it cute. 💀
