NVME_INIT_SET_FEATURES_SW_PROGRESS-LIBNVME3(2)

💅 NAME 💅

nvme_init_set_features_sw_progress — bestie, this is the one that initializes the passthru command for the Software Pogress Marker ✨ (yes, "Pogress" — that's literally how it's spelled up in here, don't come for me 😭). It's a libnvme API manual situation, and we're getting into it.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nvme_init_set_features_sw_progress (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , bool sv , __u8 pbslc );

Like, that's the whole vibe. Three little args and she's off 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use 🫶 hand her over and she'll do the thing.
• sv — Save value across power states. yes queen, persist 💖
• pbslc — Pre-boot Software Load Count. it's a __u8, so keep it cute and small 🔥

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Okay so real talk: this function initializes the passthru command buffer for the Set Features command with the FID value NVME_FEAT_FID_SW_PROGRESS 👑

That's it. That's the whole job. She sets up the buffer, she plugs in that FID, she slays, she leaves. Main character energy, no notes 💅

ngl it does exactly one thing and does it well — if you were expecting more, that's a you problem 🙈

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓
