📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

✨ libnvme_ctrl_get_src_addr ✨

okay bestie, so this one's from the libnvme API manual and it's genuinely such a cute little helper 💖 It's called libnvme_ctrl_get_src_addr and honestly? It's giving "just grab the address for me please" energy.

🎀 NAME 🎀

libnvme_ctrl_get_src_addr — extract src_addr from the c->address string 🫶

Like, you've already got the address string hanging out on the controller, and this function is the one that pulls the src_addr out of it. No cap. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

char * libnvme_ctrl_get_src_addr (struct libnvme_ctrl *c , char
*src_addr , size_t src_addr_len );

Look at that signature. Iconic. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • c — the Controller instance 👑 your main character struct, literally.
  • src_addr — where to copy the src_addr to. Heads up bestie: the size of this thing must be at least INET6_ADDRSTRLEN. Not optional, not a suggestion. At least. 💀
  • src_addr_len — the length of the buffer src_addr. iykyk, you gotta tell it how much room it's got 🌈

⭐ RETURN ⭐

On success you get a pointer to src_addr back. Slay. 💖

On failure to extract the src_addr? You get NULL. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 😭

fr fr, if you see NULL coming back, the extraction didn't happen — don't go dereferencing that and acting surprised 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and to the point 🧚

sign-off time: this lil slice of documentation came out of the libnvme API manual (libnvme, October 2026 edition 💅), so go forth and extract those addresses responsibly ✨🍓
