πŸŽ€ libnvme(9) β€” the enum nvme_cmbmsc page, bestie edition πŸŽ€

okay so this is a page straight out of the libnvme manual (that's the manual name, iykyk), and honestly? it's a little one. but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves because it's about controller memory buffer memory space control and that's kind of a big deal πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_cmbmsc β€” literally this field indicates the controller memory buffer memory space control. that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole enum, copy-paste ready, don't touch anything:

enum nvme_cmbmsc {
    NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CBA_SHIFT ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_MASK ,
    NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_MASK

};

like, that's it. five constants. short and iconic πŸ‘‘


✨ Constants ✨

okay so each one of these does exactly one thing and we're gonna learn them together 🫢

  • NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_SHIFT β€” the shift amount to get the capabilities registers enabled. that's the whole job. slay πŸ’–
  • NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_SHIFT β€” the shift amount to get the controller memory space enable. shifts, but make it memory space ✨
  • NVME_CMBMSC_CBA_SHIFT β€” the shift amount to get the controller base address. base address, but shifted. periodt 🌸
  • NVME_CMBMSC_CRE_MASK β€” the mask to get the capabilities registers enabled. masking is self-care, ngl πŸŽ€
  • NVME_CMBMSC_CMSE_MASK β€” the mask to get the controller memory space enable. last one, and yes it ate πŸ’…
real talk: there are no options, no exit statuses, no environment variables, no warnings and no SEE ALSO on this page β€” it's just the enum and its five constants, and we are not gonna pretend otherwise. keep it honest bestie πŸ”₯

okay that's the whole page!! shoutout to the libnvme manual, this is the enum nvme_cmbmsc page, dated October 2026 β€” see you in the next one, mwah πŸ’œπŸ§šπŸŒˆ
