ENUM RC_PROTO(9)

💅 enum rc_proto(9) — the Remote Controller protocol, bestie

okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨ and it's literally just a giant enum of every remote-control protocol the kernel knows how to vibe with. that's it. that's the page. and honestly? iconic. 🎀

🦋 Constants 🦋

okay bestie, here's the roll call — every single one, with what it actually is 💖

• RC_PROTO_UNKNOWN — we literally do not know this protocol. no clue. mystery era. 🙈
• RC_PROTO_OTHER — we do know it, but it's proprietary, so it's giving "we see you but we can't name you" energy.
• RC_PROTO_RC5 — the Philips RC5 protocol 💅
• RC_PROTO_RC5X_20 — Philips RC5x, 20 bit version ✨
• RC_PROTO_RC5_SZ — the StreamZap variant of RC5 (yes, RC5 with a little glow-up) 🎀
• RC_PROTO_JVC — JVC protocol, periodt.
• RC_PROTO_SONY12 — Sony, 12 bit 🍓
• RC_PROTO_SONY15 — Sony, 15 bit 🍓
• RC_PROTO_SONY20 — Sony, 20 bit 🍓 (Sony really said "we have options")
• RC_PROTO_NEC — NEC protocol, classic main character.
• RC_PROTO_NECX — the extended NEC protocol, NEC's glow-up arc 🌈
• RC_PROTO_NEC32 — NEC 32 bit, bigger and honestly kinda iconic.
• RC_PROTO_SANYO — Sanyo protocol 💜
• RC_PROTO_MCIR2_KBD — RC6-ish MCE keyboard 🧚
• RC_PROTO_MCIR2_MSE — RC6-ish MCE mouse 🐭 (it's giving desk-setup)
• RC_PROTO_RC6_0 — Philips RC6-0-16 protocol ⭐
• RC_PROTO_RC6_6A_20 — Philips RC6-6A-20 protocol ⭐
• RC_PROTO_RC6_6A_24 — Philips RC6-6A-24 protocol ⭐
• RC_PROTO_RC6_6A_32 — Philips RC6-6A-32 protocol ⭐
• RC_PROTO_RC6_MCE — MCE protocol, which is a Philips RC6-6A-32 subtype btw 👑
• RC_PROTO_SHARP — Sharp protocol 🔥
• RC_PROTO_XMP — XMP protocol 💫
• RC_PROTO_CEC — CEC protocol, living its best HDMI life.
• RC_PROTO_IMON — iMon Pad protocol 🎮
• RC_PROTO_RCMM12 — RC-MM protocol, 12 bits 💀
• RC_PROTO_RCMM24 — RC-MM protocol, 24 bits 💀
• RC_PROTO_RCMM32 — RC-MM protocol, 32 bits 💀 (RC-MM said "go big")
• RC_PROTO_XBOX_DVD — Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit protocol 🕹️ iconic name, honestly
• RC_PROTO_MAX — the maximum value of enum rc_proto, i.e. the edge of the universe 🌌 don't go past it.
