ENUM SDCA_VOLUME_RANGE(9)

💅 enum sdca_volume_range(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual vibe

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for enum sdca_volume_range, and honestly? it's a short one. it's giving "index card, not a whole essay" 🎀 but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves anyway.

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum sdca_volume_range — the column definitions for Q7.8dB volumes/gains. that's it, that's the whole job. she defines which column is which, and she does it flawlessly. periodt 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum sdca_volume_range {
    SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_MIN ,
    SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_MAX ,
    SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_STEP ,
    SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_NCOLS

};

look at her. four little constants, all lined up, no trailing weirdness. iconic behavior honestly 🦋

🧚 CONSTANTS 🧚

so here's the tea — the source doc gives us these four names and then literally writes -- undescribed -- next to every single one 😭 like okay go off, mysterious queen. but fr fr, i'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there, so here's exactly what we've got:

• SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_MIN — the minimum column. the doc's own description? -- undescribed --. she's an enigma, iykyk 🙈
• SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_MAX — the maximum column. also -- undescribed --. matching energy with her sister 💀
• SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_STEP — the step column. -- undescribed -- again. three for three, no cap 🌈
• SDCA_VOLUME_LINEAR_NCOLS — the column-count one. and yes, -- undescribed --. four for four, a clean sweep 👑

ngl bestie, the moral of this section is: the names are the whole documentation. i'm not guessing what any of them mean beyond "column definitions for Q7.8dB volumes/gains" — that's what NAME said, and that's what we're standing on. no invented facts on my watch 🫶
