LIBNVMF_CONTEXT_SET_CONNECTION-LIBNVME3(2)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 libnvmf_context_set_connection(9) — the one where we set up our connection parameters

okay bestie, so this page lives in the libnvme API manual, section 9 if anyone asks (iykyk). and it's about one little function that's literally just: here are the deets for our connection, please hold them for us 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

libnvmf_context_set_connection — sets the connection parameters for the context 🌸

the way that name just tells you exactly what it does?? iconic honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int libnvmf_context_set_connection (struct libnvmf_context *fctx , const
       char *subsysnqn , const char *transport , const char *traddr , const
       char *trsvcid , const char *host_traddr , const char *host_iface );

look at all those const char *, so respectful, so "I promise I won't touch your strings" 💅 and it hands you back an int like the good little function it is.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

seven besties walk into a function call. no cap, here's who's who:

  • fctx — the Fabrics context ✨ this is the main character, the whole reason we're here.
  • subsysnqn — the Subsystem NQN 🏷️
  • transport — the transport type 🚚
  • traddr — the transport address 📍
  • trsvcid — the transport service ID 🔢
  • host_traddr — the host transport address 🏠
  • host_iface — the host interface 🔌

not a single one of these is optional in the docs, so like… give the function what it asked for, bestie 🥺

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Sets the connection parameters for the context. that's it, that's the paragraph 😭 short and sweet and lowkey perfect. it's giving "little function, big responsibility."

👑 RETURN 👑

  • 0 on success 🎉 periodt, we love a clean zero.
  • negative error code otherwise 💀 so like, do your vibe check on that return value, fr fr.
bestie please actually check the return value. a negative number is not a personality trait, it's a problem 🙈
