libnvme_set_privsep(9)

πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so bestie, this is the libnvme_set_privsep(9) page from the libnvme API manual ✨ and its whole thing is literally: libnvme_set_privsep β€” Open devices through the helper. periodt. πŸ’…

πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

void libnvme_set_privsep (struct libnvme_global_ctx *ctx , struct
       libnvme_privsep *ps );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • ctx β€” a struct libnvme_global_ctx object. yes, that exact one 🫢
  • ps β€” the helper channel, or NULL to open devices directly. choose your fighter πŸ’–

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so here's the tea: libnvme_open on ctx returns transport handles, and those handles forward the commands to the helper. no cap. ✨

MI endpoints are not affected β€” they're living their own life, untouched. iconic, honestly πŸ’…

Several contexts can share one helper channel. cute, communal, very main-character energy πŸ‘‘

but bestie, the rules are the rules:

  • the channel must outlive the contexts and their transport handles. like it literally has to stick around longer than them ⏳
  • commands on one channel must not be issued concurrently. do not parallel-chaos them πŸ’€
