💅 struct nvme_exported_port_create_data — libnvme(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the API Manual ✨ this is the page for libnvme(9), and today's main character is a little struct that handles Exported Port - Create Data 🎀 ngl the name is a mouthful but she's lowkey iconic once you get to know her 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nvme_exported_port_create_data — Manage Exported Port - Create Data Structure 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole glow-up, copied exactly, no edits, no cap 🧚

struct nvme_exported_port_create_data {
    __u8 subnqn[256];
    __le16 epid;
    __le16 pidud;
    __u8 trsvcid[32];
    __u8 rsvd292[28];
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so let's meet the cast, one field at a time 👑

• subnqn — this is the Exported NVM Subsystem NQN (SUBNQN), and her whole job is telling the kernel which subsystem to associate the newly created Exported Port with 💫 she's the matchmaker fr fr
• epid — the Exported Port ID (EPID) 🎀 here's the tea though: she's only used unless GEPID is set in the MOS field. if GEPID is set, this field gets straight-up ignored 🙈 and the assigned Exported Port ID comes back to you in the CQE result instead. so she's either the star or she's watching from the sidelines, iykyk 💅
• pidud — the Port ID of the Underlying Port (PIDUD) 🌈 yes that's genuinely the acronym, no we did not make it up, she's just out here living her truth
• trsvcid — the Transport Service ID (TRSVCID), and she's an ASCII string ⭐ important detail bestie, she's text, not numbers, don't come for her with raw bytes 😭
• rsvd292 — Reserved 🦋 she doesn't do anything, she's just here for the vibes and the padding, respect her journey 🙏

lowkey reminder: rsvd292 is reserved, so like… don't touch it. it's giving "do not perceive me" energy 💀

and that's the page bestie, you ate that 💅✨ this was struct nvme_exported_port_create_data from the API Manual, dated October 2026 🎀 and we're all under the libnvme(9) umbrella together 🫶 go forth and create those exported ports, no cap 🔥👑
