💖 libnvme_alloc(9) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual ✨ this one's a little baby page but it's honestly iconic — it's libnvme_alloc, and it does exactly one thing and does it slay 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_alloc — allocate zero-initialized memory 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void * libnvme_alloc (size_t len );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• len — the number of bytes to allocate. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does is: allocates len bytes of zero-initialized memory, and this memory is suitable for use by libnvme APIs 🌈✨ like, that's the whole point — it's the memory-having function for libnvme things, and everything in it starts out as zero, no cap 🧚

⭐ RETURN ⭐

on success you get a pointer to the allocated memory back 💖 and if it fails? you get NULL. that's the whole story, bestie 😭

---

ngl, always check your return value — NULL means it did not eat 🔥
