📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 enum rt2x00usb_vendor_request(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is this lil enum, enum rt2x00usb_vendor_request. it's giving "small but mighty" 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum rt2x00usb_vendor_request — USB vendor commands. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the enum that holds all the USB vendor command codes, and honestly? iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum rt2x00usb_vendor_request {
    USB_DEVICE_MODE ,
    USB_SINGLE_WRITE ,
    USB_SINGLE_READ ,
    USB_MULTI_WRITE ,
    USB_MULTI_READ ,
    USB_EEPROM_WRITE ,
    USB_EEPROM_READ ,
    USB_LED_CONTROL ,
    USB_RX_CONTROL

};

like, look at that list. nine constants. all lined up. main character energy fr fr 👑

🫶 Constants 🫶

so here's the thing, bestie — i'm gonna be so real with you. every single one of these has the exact same description in the source docs, and that description is... nothing. literally -- undescribed --. 😭 the kernel devs said "no thoughts, head empty" and moved on. but i'm still gonna list every single one, because the rule is we keep every detail, and also because respecting the bit is important.

  • USB_DEVICE_MODE — -- undescribed -- 🙈 that's all we get, queen. no cap.
  • USB_SINGLE_WRITE — -- undescribed -- 💀 the docs are silent. we stan a mysterious constant.
  • USB_SINGLE_READ — -- undescribed -- 🔥 still undescribed, still valid, still in the enum.
  • USB_MULTI_WRITE — -- undescribed -- 🌈 multi write, zero description. balance.
  • USB_MULTI_READ — -- undescribed -- 🌸
  • USB_EEPROM_WRITE — -- undescribed -- 🍓 yes bestie, i know what you're thinking: "surely this one has a description?" nope.
  • USB_EEPROM_READ — -- undescribed -- 🧚
  • USB_LED_CONTROL — -- undescribed -- 💜 the LED one is also undescribed. i don't make the rules.
  • USB_RX_CONTROL — -- undescribed -- 💖 last one, equally mysterious.
ok so genuine note: this isn't me being lazy, the manual page literally says -- undescribed -- for all nine constants. i'm not gonna make up behaviour for them because that would be lying to you and we don't do that here. 🫶
