Hello everybody,
There is a TODO file into drivers/staging that says the following:
User space interface refinement:
No enums should be used
Can someone explain me what is the meaning of not using enums in user space
interfaces?
Thanks in advance
Best regards

Hello Gustavo,
I think this article sums up pretty well and in a easy way the problems behind
using enums in C.
Hope it helps.
