💖 libnvme(2) — API Manual 💖

okay bestie, so we're diving into the libnvme API manual and today's main character is a little struct called nbft_info_hfi. it's giving ✨ Host Fabric Interface ✨ energy and honestly? obsessed.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nbft_info_hfi — the Host Fabric Interface (HFI) Descriptor 🦋

like, it's the whole vibe of one HFI, all wrapped up in a struct. no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nbft_info_hfi {
    int index;
    char transport[8];
    struct nbft_info_hfi_info_tcp tcp_info;
 };

look at her 🥹 so simple, so iconic, so exactly three members. periodt.

🎀 Members 🎀

• index — the HFI Descriptor Index, bestie 💅 it literally tells you the number of this HFI Descriptor in the Host Fabric Interface Descriptor List. it's the "which one am I" of the whole situation.
• transport — the Transport Type string, like 'tcp' for example 🌈. just a little string (she lives in a char[8], so mind your space, love u) telling you what kind of transport we're talking about.
• tcp_info — the HFI Transport Info Descriptor 🫶 it's a struct nbft_info_hfi_info_tcp, so if you wanna know what's inside, go read that struct. iykyk 💜

---

💀 reminder: transport is a fixed char[8], not an infinite vibe. don't be out here writing a whole novel into it.
