ENUM PWM_POLARITY(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for enum pwm_polarity(9) — it’s giving tiny enum, huge main-character energy 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

• enum pwm_polarity — polarity of a PWM signal 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       enum pwm_polarity {
           PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL ,
           PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED

       };

🌸 Constants 🌸

okay so there are exactly two constants here, and they are literally opposites, no cap:

• PWM_POLARITY_NORMAL — a high signal for the duration of the duty- cycle, followed by a low signal for the remainder of the pulse period. high then low, periodt 🔥
• PWM_POLARITY_INVERSED — a low signal for the duration of the duty- cycle, followed by a high signal for the remainder of the pulse period. low then high, the flip side 💜
