libnvme(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, you’re on the libnvme(9) page in the API Manual, and the star of this one is struct nvme_exported_ctrl_descriptor — literally the Exported Controller Descriptor. that’s it, that’s the name, no cap. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the whole struct, copied exactly so you can trust it:

       struct nvme_exported_ctrl_descriptor {
           __le16 ecntlid;
           __le16 cntlid;
        };

yep, two __le16 members. short and iconic. 💅

🫶 Members 🫶

• ecntlid — Exported Controller Identifier (ECNTLID). that’s the whole flex. ✨
• cntlid — Controller Identifier (CNTLID) of the associated Underlying Controller. yes bestie, associated Underlying Controller is the exact phrase, don’t come for me. 😭

xoxo, your Unix bestie 💖 — this page is from the libnvme(9) API Manual, and it’s dated October 2026. periodt. 🎀
