boss:P also contains all of the commands from boss:U.
When Home Menu loads the SpotPass CBMD with Extended_Banner, it uses bossP command 0x040D0182 first. Then it uses GetNsDataHeaderInfoPrivileged, then ReadNsDataPrivileged for loading the actual banner data.
Content Data Storage
SpotPass content for each application is stored under the extdata specified by BOSS:SetStorageInfo. That command and others verify that the PID associated with the current service session has access to the specified extdata by using FS:CheckAuthorityToAccessExtSaveData, returning an error on failure. This basically renders SpotPass unusable under user-processes(when initialized under those processes) which don't have access to any SD extdata(unless NAND extdata is used instead).
BOSS TaskIDs
This is a 8-byte buffer containing a string(normally including NUL-terminator).
NsDataId
This is an u32 ID for SpotPass content, used with the NsData service commands etc.
