ENUM TUNER_MODE(9)

🌸 enum tuner_mode 🌸

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for enum tuner_mode — manual name folded in right here, cute and accounted for. 💖

💖 NAME 💖

enum tuner_mode — Mode of the tuner. Literally the mode. The tuner's mode. That's the whole name vibe. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the enum in all its iconic glory:

enum tuner_mode {
    T_RADIO ,
    T_ANALOG_TV

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

• T_RADIO — Tuner core will work in radio mode. That's the assignment, bestie. 📻
• T_ANALOG_TV — Tuner core will work in analog TV mode. Old-school screen energy. 📺

🌈 Description 🌈

Okay so story time: older boards only had a single tuner device, but some devices have a separate tuner for radio. In any case, the tuner-core needs to know if the tuner chip(s) will be used in radio mode or analog TV mode, because — and this is the key detail — on radio mode, frequencies are specified on a different range than on TV mode. No cap. 🔥

This enum is used by the tuner core in order to work with the proper tuner range and eventually use a different tuner chip while in radio mode. So yeah, it's giving "range management with a side of chip-switching realness." 💅
