Yes, they are defined in rig.h.  Your program should already be
including hamlib/rig.h.  The mode values you're seeing are the results
of bit settings so you can look for modes with a bitmask.  The modes
have their own type, rmode_t, and are defined as RIG_MODE_AM,
RIG_MODE_CW, and so on.

If you want to convert the mode values to strings, the rig_strrmode()
function is useful.  Passing it 'RIG_MODE_AM', for example, will cause it
to return the string "AM". Conversely, if you have the string "AM" you
can convert that to the mode value with rig_parse_mode as in:

rig_set_mode(my_rig, RIG_VFO_CURR, rig_parse_mode("AM"),
rig_passband_normal(rig_parse_mode("AM"));

And so on...

I am working on the tests/testrig.c code that will use these functions a
bit more prominently to make their use more clear.
