β¨ nvme_init_set_features_bp_write_protect β a libnvme API moment β¨
Okay bestie, so this one's from the libnvme API manual and it's giving very niche, very specific, very "I work on firmware and I'm thriving" energy. Buckle up π
π NAME π
nvme_init_set_features_bp_write_protect β literally initializes a passthru command for the Boot Partition Write Protection Config. That's it, that's the whole vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
void nvme_init_set_features_bp_write_protect (struct
libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , bool sv , __u8 bp0wps , __u8 bp1wps );
Note the void β this function does not hand you back a return value, it just does the thing and leaves. Main character energy honestly π
π§ ARGUMENTS π§
cmdβ the passthru command you're going to use. This is the one getting initialized, so like, hand it over π«Άsvβ save value across power states. It's abool, so yes/no, true/false, slay/not-slay π«bp0wpsβ the Boot Partition 0 Write Protection State (BP0WPS). A__u8. Boot partition zero supremacy πbp1wpsβ the Boot Partition 1 Write Protection State (BP1WPS). Also a__u8. Boot partition one, we see you too π
π₯ DESCRIPTION π₯
So what it actually does: it initializes the passthru command buffer for the Set Features command, with the FID value NVME_FEAT_FID_BP_WRITE_PROTECT.
That's the whole tea β No hidden lore, no extra flags, no surprises. It sets up the buffer, you take it from there. Periodt π
Fr fr though β this just initializes the buffer. It doesn't tell you anything about what happens after you submit it, because the manpage doesn't say, and I'm not out here inventing lore. Iykyk π

Nothing listed on this page, bestie β it's a solo act β
That's the whole page, no cap π This little gem comes to you courtesy of the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026, and the header/footer both just kept saying the function name at us the entire time like a hype chant π£ Go initialize those passthru buffers, you icon πβ¨
