ENUM MEDIA_GOBJ_TYPE(9)

🦋 enum media_gobj_type(9) 🦋

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual bestie, and this page is literally just a little enum that tells you what kind of graph object you're looking at ✨ no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

💅 NAME

enum media_gobj_type — the type of a graph object. iykyk 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

enum media_gobj_type {
    MEDIA_GRAPH_ENTITY ,
    MEDIA_GRAPH_PAD ,
    MEDIA_GRAPH_LINK ,
    MEDIA_GRAPH_INTF_DEVNODE

};

like… she's short, she's cute, she's load-bearing 🎀

---

✨ Constants ✨

okay so these are the four flavors, and each one is iconic in her own way:

• MEDIA_GRAPH_ENTITY — identifies a media entity 🫶
• MEDIA_GRAPH_PAD — identifies a media pad 💖
• MEDIA_GRAPH_LINK — identifies a media link 🔥
• MEDIA_GRAPH_INTF_DEVNODE — identifies a media Kernel API interface via a device node ⭐

bestie pls note: these are constants, so there's no "default" to worry about, no arguments to pass, nothing spicy. just vibes and identification 💀
