πŸ’œ libnvme_mi_open_mctp(9) πŸ’œ

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual β€” this little page is all about libnvme_mi_open_mctp, and honestly? it's a whole bop. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

libnvme_mi_open_mctp β€” create an endpoint using a MCTP connection. that's it, that's the vibe ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct libnvme_mi_ep * libnvme_mi_open_mctp (struct libnvme_global_ctx
*ctx , unsigned int netid , uint8_t eid );

look at that signature, it's giving function goals πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ctx β€” your struct libnvme_global_ctx object. the main character of the whole operation, ngl 🌟
  • netid β€” the MCTP network ID on this system. unsigned int energy, love that for you πŸ¦‹
  • eid β€” the MCTP endpoint ID. tiny lil uint8_t, big responsibilities 😀

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so this is the transport-specific endpoint initialization for MI-connected endpoints. basically it does the MCTP-specific setup work so you don't have to think about it πŸ’…

and here's the iconic part: once an endpoint is created, the rest of the API is transport-independent. meaning you can just vibe with the rest of the API and not worry about which transport got you here. slay πŸ”₯

see also: libnvme_mi_close β€” because every iconic era needs a graceful exit 😭

πŸ‘‘ RETURN πŸ‘‘

a brand new endpoint object for netid & eid, or NULL on failure. no cap β€” if you get NULL, something went sideways, so go check yourself before you wreck yourself πŸ™ˆ


made with love, sass, and a genuine respect for MCTP 🧚✨ β€” this was libnvme_mi_open_mctp(9), from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026. byeee, go open some endpoints bestie πŸ’œπŸŽ€
