ENUM NCSI_NL_CHANNEL_ATTRS(9)

💅 enum ncsi_nl_channel_attrs

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual — yes, actual kernel documentation, we're being academic today, slay ✨ — and it's literally just the enum that holds the channel-specific attributes for NCSI netlink. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Lowkey iconic.

🌸 CONSTANTS 🌸

bestie, here's the full roster, no skips, no cuts, we don't do that here 🫶

• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_UNSPEC — the unspecified one, there purely to catch errors 🚨
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR — a nested array of channel attributes, it's giving "attributes inside attributes", very meta 💫
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_ID — the channel ID, its little nametag 🏷️
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VERSION_MAJOR — the channel's major version number, the big number energy 🔢
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VERSION_MINOR — the channel's minor version number, the humble little sibling ✨
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VERSION_STR — the channel version string, the version but fancy and texty 🎀
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_LINK_STATE — the channel link state flags, waving its little flags around 🚩
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_ACTIVE — channels rockin' this flag are in the NCSI_CHANNEL_ACTIVE state, main character energy only 👑
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_FORCED — a flag that says "this channel has been set as preferred", it got picked, periodt 💅
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VLAN_LIST — a nested array of NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VLAN_IDs, a whole lil list of them 🌈
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_VLAN_ID — the VLAN ID being filtered on this channel, doing its little filtering job 🦋
• __NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_AFTER_LAST — fr fr the kernel doc just says -- undescribed -- 😭 so like… it's there, it exists, it's the sentinel-ish one after the last real attribute. We simply do not have tea on it 🙈
• NCSI_CHANNEL_ATTR_MAX — the highest attribute number, the ceiling, the final boss 💀
