💖 BUCTS(8) — System Administration Utilities 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about bucts — that's the coreboot tool that lets you poke at the BUC.TS bit on Intel targets. yes, THE bit. the top-swap one. she's small but she is load-bearing. 🧚✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bucts <Option>

that's it. one option at a time. no cap. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so bucts is literally a tool to manipulate the BUC.TS bit on Intel targets. that's her whole job. she shows up, she flips (or doesn't flip) that bit, she goes home. main character energy, honestly. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -s | --set — sets the top swap bit, which inverts the bootblock region decoding. flipping the vibe of your bootblock, fr fr. 🔥
  • -u | --unset — unsets the top swap bit, so you get regular bootblock region decoding back. the un-flip. the palate cleanser. 🌈
  • -p | --print — prints the current status of the hardware. just a little vibe check on your silicon, no changes made. 👀
  • -h | --help — prints this help. your girl is being helpful, as always. 🫶
lowkey important: -s and -u are the ones that actually change hardware state. -p is the safe little peek. choose wisely bestie 💀
