STRUCT SEV_USER_DATA_STATUS(9)

💅 struct sev_user_data_status(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for struct sev_user_data_status, and it's literally the parameters for the PLATFORM_STATUS command. yes, that one. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct sev_user_data_status — the parameter bundle for the PLATFORM_STATUS command, no cap 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole struct, verbatim, don't touch a single character:

struct sev_user_data_status {
    __u8 api_major;
    __u8 api_minor;
    __u8 state;
    __u32 flags;
    __u8 build;
    __u32 guest_count;
 };

it's giving compact. it's giving iconic. 🎀

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so these are the fields the page actually spells out for you — keep up, i'm not repeating myself:

• state — the platform state. that's it, that's the vibe check 🌈
• flags — the platform config flags, iykyk ⭐
• build — the firmware build id for the API version 🔥
• guest_count — how many guests are active rn 👑

ngl bestie, notice that api_major and api_minor are chilling in the struct up there but the Members list doesn't describe them — so i'm not gonna make up lore about them either. we respect the source. 💀
