ENUM V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION(9)

💅 enum v4l2_fwnode_orientation — possible device orientation

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a tiny lil enum but she's lowkey important, no cap. It's literally just telling you where a device is chillin' on the hardware. Front, back, or external. That's the whole vibe check 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum v4l2_fwnode_orientation — possible device orientation

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum v4l2_fwnode_orientation {
    V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_FRONT ,
    V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_BACK ,
    V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_EXTERNAL

};

like, that's the entire definition. three constants, zero drama, we love a minimal icon 👑

---

✨ Constants ✨

• V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_FRONT — device installed on the front side 🫶 (selfie cam energy, main character, front and center)
• V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_BACK — device installed on the back side 🙈 (rear cam vibes, doing the work behind the scenes)
• V4L2_FWNODE_ORIENTATION_EXTERNAL — device externally located 🧚 (not built in, she's out here living her own life on the outside)

like, she has SO many references, the way that this enum is connected to literally everyone 💀 iconic behavior honestly.

that's it bestie, that's the page. three constants and a whole lot of see-also links. slay 💅

catch you later — this one's from ./include/media, dated October 2026, and yes she really does sign off as enum v4l2_fw..._orientation(9) because the terminal truncates her name and honestly? she's at peace with it 🎀✨
