libnvme_ns_identify(9)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 libnvme_ns_identify

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libnvme API manual — it's libnvme_ns_identify(9), and honestly? it's giving "small but mighty" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_ns_identify — issue an 'identify namespace' command 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int libnvme_ns_identify (struct libnvme_ns *n , struct nvme_id_ns *ns );

like, that's the whole flex. two pointers, one dream 💖

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • n — the namespace instance, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • ns — the nvme_id_ns buffer, aka where the tea gets stored 🍓

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what it does is — it writes the data returned by the 'identify namespace' command into ns. that's it. that's the vibe. no cap, it literally just fills your buffer with the identify-namespace goodness and minds its own business 🧚

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • 0 on success 🎉
  • negative error code otherwise 😭 (so like, if you see a negative number, something went sideways — vibe check failed fr fr)
ngl, always check that return value bestie. 0 = slay, anything negative = go read the error 💀

that's the whole page!! brought to you by the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 — mwah, go identify some namespaces 💅✨🫶
