✨ enum mei_ext_hdr_type ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual β€” it's enum mei_ext_hdr_type, aka the extended header type used in extended header TLV πŸ’… like, that's literally the whole name, no cap.


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

enum mei_ext_hdr_type β€” the extended header type used in extended header TLV. that's it, that's the vibe πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum mei_ext_hdr_type {
    MEI_EXT_HDR_NONE ,
    MEI_EXT_HDR_VTAG ,
    MEI_EXT_HDR_GSC

};

look at her. three constants, all lined up, absolutely iconic πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– Constants πŸ’–

  • MEI_EXT_HDR_NONE β€” the sentinel. she's giving "i'm just here to mark the spot" energy πŸ™ˆ
  • MEI_EXT_HDR_VTAG β€” the vtag header. yes bestie, that's the whole description, she's lowkey mysterious πŸŽ€
  • MEI_EXT_HDR_GSC β€” the gsc header. same deal, short and slay ✨

the cross-reference list on this one is long, like she did NOT come to play. all of this lives in Kernel file ./drivers/misc/mei/hw.h:

fr fr, go read those next, the lore goes deep 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫢 this one shipped out of ./drivers/misc/mei in October 2026 under the enum mei_ext_hdr_type(9) banner β€” mwah, go forth and read headers πŸ’œ
