libnvme(2)

✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_cmd_format_mset — the Format NVM Metadata Settings enum, aka the tiny little menu that tells your drive where the metadata is gonna live 💅

This is one page out of the libnvme API Manual (that's the "2" in libnvme(2) bestie, it's the manual section, not a sequel 😭).

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum nvme_cmd_format_mset {
    NVME_FORMAT_MSET_SEPARATE ,
    NVME_FORMAT_MSET_EXTENDED

};

okay so it's an enum, it's got exactly two members, and both of them are about metadata placement. That's the whole vibe. Simple. Iconic. No cap. ✨

🦋 Constants 🦋

• NVME_FORMAT_MSET_SEPARATE — this one says the metadata gets transferred as part of a separate buffer. Like, its own little buffer, living its own little life, separate from the data. Main character behavior, honestly. 🙈
• NVME_FORMAT_MSET_EXTENDED — and this one says the metadata gets transferred as part of an extended data LBA. So instead of a separate buffer, it's riding along inside the extended LBA. Carpooling. Together-core. 🫶

ngl bestie, that's the whole page. Two constants, both about where the metadata goes, and you're done. Lowkey a slay. 💀✨

That's the libnvme API Manual, section 2 — this page is enum nvme_cmd_format_mset, dated July 2026. Mwah, go format something responsibly. 💖🌸
