ENUM PARAM_TYPE(9)

🌸 enum param_type(9) 🌸

ok so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today, and this page is all about enum param_type — literally the type of the tuner pameters (yes that's how the page spells it, we respect the typo 🫶).

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum param_type — the type of the tuner pameters. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's short and sweet 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the whole enum, copy it exactly bestie, no edits:

enum param_type {
    TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_RADIO ,
    TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_PAL ,
    TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_SECAM ,
    TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_NTSC ,
    TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_DIGITAL

};

like look at her, five constants, all uppercase, all iconic 👑

---

🌈 Constants 🌈

ok this is the actual content, one by one, no skipping, and yes we're doing all five:

• TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_RADIO — these tuner params are for FM and/or AM radio 📻 — yes both, she's versatile
• TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_PAL — these tuner params are for the PAL color TV standard 🎨
• TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_SECAM — these tuner params are for the SECAM color TV standard 🎨
• TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_NTSC — these tuner params are for the NTSC color TV standard 🎨
• TUNER_PARAM_TYPE_DIGITAL — these tuner params are for digital TV 📺✨

ngl the three color-TV ones (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) are giving "same outfit, different colorway" and I respect the consistency 💀

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

go read these next, they're the friend group this enum runs with, all hanging out in the kernel file ./include/media/tuner-types.h:

• struct tuner_range(9)
• struct tuner_params(9)
• struct tunertype(9)

that's the whole page, no cap, every constant accounted for 🍓

kisses and bye bye from ./include/media, dated October 2026 — this one's filed under the Kernel API Manual, mwah 💜🧚
