💅 libnvme(9) — the API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this page lives in the libnvme manual (section 9, kernel-adjacent cutie energy), and it's literally just one enum. one. iconic minimalism. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_ns_write_protect_cfg — Write Protection - Write Protection State

like… the state of write protection. that's the whole vibe. no notes. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_ns_write_protect_cfg {
    NVME_NS_WP_CFG_NONE ,
    NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT ,
    NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT_POWER_CYCLE ,
    NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT_PERMANENT

};

four constants, zero drama (well… mostly, one of them is permanent, we'll get there). copy it exactly, bestie, commas and all 💖

---

⭐ Constants ⭐

okay so here's the whole cast of characters, main character energy each one:

• NVME_NS_WP_CFG_NONE — No Write Protect. the free-spirit option, nothing is locked, everything is possible, live ur life 🕊️
• NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT — Write Protect. it's protected. periodt. 🔒
• NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT_POWER_CYCLE — Write Protect Until Power Cycle. protection with an expiration date — power cycle it and ur free again ⚡
• NVME_NS_WP_CFG_PROTECT_PERMANENT — Permanent Write Protect. like the name says, permanent — no cap, this one does not come off when you reboot 😭 read that twice before you pick it, fr fr 💀

---

lowkey a whole mood: four states, no flags, no environment variables, no exit statuses, no bugs listed, no SEE ALSO. the page said "that's it, that's the enum" and honestly? respect 🫶
