libnvme(9)

💖 NAME

okay so bestie, gather round — this is struct libnbft_info, and it's literally the parsed NBFT table data. that's it, that's the vibe. it's the struct where all your NBFT goodness lives after somebody did the parsing for you ✨

(this whole page lives in the libnvme API manual, section 9 — iykyk 💅)

✨ SYNOPSIS

struct libnbft_info {
    char *filename;
    __u8 *raw_nbft;
    ssize_t raw_nbft_size;
    struct libnbft_host host;
    struct libnbft_hfi **hfi_list;
    struct libnbft_security **security_list;
    struct libnbft_discovery **discovery_list;
    struct libnbft_subsystem_ns **subsystem_ns_list;
 };

like, look at her. eight fields. main character energy, no cap 👑

🎀 Members

okay here's the rundown, one by one, no skipping, we don't do that here 🫶

• filename — the path to the NBFT table. where she lives, basically 🏠
• raw_nbft — the original NBFT table contents, untouched, in all her raw glory. the receipts, fr fr 💀
• raw_nbft_size — the size of raw_nbft. gotta know how much raw we're working with 📏
• host — the Host Descriptor, and lowkey it should match other NBFTs. like, matching fits = iconic, mismatched = 🚩
• hfi_list — the HFI Descriptor List. it's a null-terminated array, so when you hit null, you're done, periodt ✋
• security_list — the Security Profile Descriptor List, also a null-terminated array. security? we love her 🛡️✨
• discovery_list — the Discovery Descriptor List, null-terminated array again. go find your stuff bestie 🔍
• subsystem_ns_list — the SSNS Descriptor List, and yes, null-terminated array, the pattern is very much giving consistency 🌈

quick vibe check: those last four are all null-terminated arrays — that's four separate "stop when you see null" situations, don't forget it 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 🍓💅
