ENUM MLXREG_LC_STATE(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ enum mlxreg_lc_state(9) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about this one little enum called enum mlxreg_lc_state β€” yes, we're doing kernel docs today, and honestly? it's giving main character energy 🌟


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

enum mlxreg_lc_state β€” line cards state πŸŽ€

like, the state of your line cards. that's the whole vibe. no cap.


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

enum mlxreg_lc_state {
    MLXREG_LC_INITIALIZED ,
    MLXREG_LC_POWERED ,
    MLXREG_LC_SYNCED

};

look at her. three constants. absolutely iconic structure, no notes πŸ’…


🌸 Constants 🌸

okay so here's the tea on each one:

  • MLXREG_LC_INITIALIZED β€” the line card is initialized ✨ like she's been set up, she's ready, she exists in the system now.
  • MLXREG_LC_POWERED β€” the line card is powered πŸ”₯ she's got the juice. literally energized.
  • MLXREG_LC_SYNCED β€” the line card is synchronized between hardware and firmware 🫢 both sides are matching, they're in their agreement era, hardware and firmware are not fighting.
these are the three states, bestie. in order. she goes from initialized β†’ powered β†’ synced and that's the journey πŸ˜­πŸ’–
