✨ nvme_init_set_features_bp_write_protect β€” a libnvme API moment ✨

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 πŸŽ€


πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

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. πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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 πŸ‘‘


🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • cmd β€” the passthru command you're going to use. This is the one getting initialized, so like, hand it over 🫢
  • sv β€” save value across power states. It's a bool, so yes/no, true/false, slay/not-slay πŸ’«
  • bp0wps β€” the Boot Partition 0 Write Protection State (BP0WPS). A __u8. Boot partition zero supremacy πŸ“
  • bp1wps β€” the Boot Partition 1 Write Protection State (BP1WPS). Also a __u8. Boot partition one, we see you too πŸ’œ

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

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 πŸ’…

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 🌈

That's the whole page, no cap πŸ’– 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 πŸ“£ Go initialize those passthru buffers, you icon πŸ‘‘βœ¨
