STRUCT LEAPRAID_BIOS_PAGE2(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct leapraid_bios_page2(9)

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the blueprint for BIOS configuration page 2 β€” one of those structs that holds all the boot-device gossip. bestie, it's giving "firmware talking to itself in a very structured way" and honestly? iconic. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

struct leapraid_bios_page2 β€” BIOS configuration page 2 πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, verbatim, don't touch a single brace:

struct leapraid_bios_page2 {
    struct leapraid_cfg_pg_header header;
    u8 r1[24];
    u8 requested_boot_dev_form;
    u8 r2[3];
    union leapraid_boot_dev_format requested_boot_dev;
    u8 requested_alt_boot_dev_form;
    u8 r3[3];
    union leapraid_boot_dev_format requested_alt_boot_dev;
    u8 current_boot_dev_form;
    u8 r4[3];
    union leapraid_boot_dev_format current_boot_dev;
};

okay let's go through the cast of characters one by one, no skips πŸ’–

  • header β€” the configuration page header. it's the ✨ main character ✨ at the top of every one of these pages.
  • r1 β€” reserved. that's it, that's the whole job. <italic>reserved</italic> πŸŽ€
  • requested_boot_dev_form β€” the format type of the boot device that's being requested (you know, the one somebody's asking for).
  • r2 β€” reserved again πŸ’€
  • requested_boot_dev β€” the boot device requested by BIOS or by the user. the ask, the dream, the goal.
  • requested_alt_boot_dev_form β€” the format of the alternate (backup) boot device. plan B energy 🌈
  • r3 β€” reserved πŸ™ˆ
  • requested_alt_boot_dev β€” the alternate boot device that got requested.
  • current_boot_dev_form β€” format type of the boot device that's actually active right now. reality check time.
  • r4 β€” reserved, bestie πŸ¦‹
  • current_boot_dev β€” the currently active boot device that's actually in use. the one that made it πŸ’…
