r"""An enum-like class that contains the different backends for scaled dot product attention.
    This backend class is designed to be used with the sdpa_kernel context manager.

    The following Enums are available:
        - ERROR: An error occurred when trying to determine the backend.
        - MATH: The math backend for scaled dot product attention.
        - FLASH_ATTENTION: The flash attention backend for scaled dot product attention.
        - EFFICIENT_ATTENTION: The efficient attention backend for scaled dot product attention.
        - CUDNN_ATTENTION: The cuDNN backend for scaled dot product attention.

    See :func:`torch.nn.attention.sdpa_kernel` for more details.

    Context manager to select which backend to use for scaled dot product attention.

        backend (Union[List[SDPBackend], SDPBackend]): A backend or list of backends for scaled dot product attention.
