✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_ave_discovery_log — bestie, it's the AVE Discovery Log 🦋 and yes it's a struct, we stan a whole discovery log moment

So like, this page lives in the API Manual for libnvme (that's the manual name, hi 💅), and it's literally just here to introduce you to one struct. One. Iconic minimalism, honestly.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't touch it:

struct nvme_ave_discovery_log {
    __le64 genctr;
    __le64 numrec;
    __le16 recfmt;
    __u8 rsvd18[2];
    __le32 tadlpl;
    __u8 rsvd24[1000];
    struct nvme_ave_discovery_log_entry     adlpe[];
 };

lowkey she's got a lot of reserved padding and we respect her for it 🎀

💖 Members 💖

these are the fields, in order, no cap, we're going through all of them:

• genctr — the Generation Counter, that's her whole job ✨
• numrec — the Number of Records, like how many records are in the room fr fr
• recfmt — the Record Format, the format of the record, we love a formatter 👑
• rsvd18 — Reserved 🙈 nothing to see here bestie, it's reserved
• tadlpl — the Total AVE Discovery Log Page Length, yes that's the whole name, yes it's a flex 💅
• rsvd24 — Reserved again 🎀 more reserved energy, more napping
• adlpe — the AVE Discovery Log Page Entry List, the main character of the members ngl 🔥 it's a list of struct nvme_ave_discovery_log_entry

bestie reminder: rsvd18 and rsvd24 are Reserved. That's the entire description. Do not put your stuff there. The struct said what it said 💀
