STRUCT LOADER_VERSION(9)

🌸 struct loader_version(9) 🌸

ok so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's a little cutie. it's giving "tiny struct, big responsibilities" 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct loader_version — the ISHTP firmware loader version, aka the vibe check for your firmware's digits 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct loader_version {
    union {
      __le32 value;
      struct {
        __u8 major;
        __u8 minor;
        __u8 hotfix;
        __u8 build;
      };
    };
 };

like, it's literally a union inside a struct. nested. iconic. no cap. ✨

---

💖 Members 💖

• {unnamed_union} — anonymous 👻 (yes it's really just an unnamed union, she has no name, main character energy fr)
• value — Value of the version 🔥
• {unnamed_struct} — anonymous 👻 (another unnamed one, a whole mystery)
• major — Major version 👑

ngl bestie, the anonymous members are just vibing there with no name. that's their whole thing. we respect it. 🫶

💀 friendly reminder that these are kernel API pages, so (9) is doing a lot of heavy lifting. don't come for her.

ok that's the whole page bestie, go forth and read your version fields 💜

sign-off szn: this lil cutie lives in ./drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/ishtp, dated October 2026, and she's filed under struct loader_version(9). mwah. 💅🎀✨
