STRUCT SEV_DATA_DEACTIVATE(9)

💅 struct sev_data_deactivate(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie

okay so real talk: this is the manual page for struct sev_data_deactivate, and it's literally the official Kernel API Manual entry for it. it's short. it's snappy. it's giving "one job and she does it." let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct sev_data_deactivate — the DEACTIVATE command parameters, periodt. that's it, that's the whole vibe. this struct is where the DEACTIVATE command keeps its parameters, and we love a focused queen 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole entire struct, no cap. one field. iconic:

struct sev_data_deactivate {
    u32 handle;
 };

like… she's minimal. she's main character energy with exactly one u32 in her bag 💅

👑 Members 👑

• handle — the handle of the VM you wanna deactivate. that's the whole field, bestie. that's the one thing you put in there 🫶
