🔥 Constants 🔥

bestie, here's every single one of them, in order, no skips, no cutting corners — periodt 💅

  • NVME_BPINFO_BPSZ_SHIFT — the shift amount, and what does it shift? the boot partition size, that's what 💫
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_SHIFT — shift amount that gets you the boot read status 🔍
  • NVME_BPINFO_ABPID_SHIFT — shift amount for the active boot partition ID, main character energy fr ⭐
  • NVME_BPINFO_BPSZ_MASK — the mask that pulls out the boot partition size 🎀
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_MASK — the mask that pulls out the boot read status 🧚
  • NVME_BPINFO_ABPID_MASK — the mask that pulls out the active boot partition ID 💜
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_NONE — no boot partition read operation was requested, like, zero reads, none, nada 🫶
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_READ_IN_PROGRESS — the boot partition read is in progress rn ⏳ (we're waiting, it's giving suspense)
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_READ_SUCCESS — boot partition read completed successfully, ate and left no crumbs ✅🔥
  • NVME_BPINFO_BRS_READ_ERROR — error completing the boot partition read 😭💀 it happens to the best of us
lowkey reminder: these are constants in an enum, so keep the spellings exactly like that — BPSZ, BRS, ABPID — no renaming, no "fixing", no creative liberties 🫶✨
