libnvme(9)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because this is the page for struct nvme_fw_commit_args β€” yes, the arguments struct for the NVMe Firmware Commit command. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's the lil bundle of stuff you hand over so the firmware commit can actually happen. πŸ’…

we're in the libnvme API manual, section 9, in case you were wondering where you wandered into. πŸ¦‹


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole shape of it, character for character, no notes:

struct nvme_fw_commit_args {
    __u32 *result;
    int args_size;
    int fd;
    __u32 timeout;
    enum nvme_fw_commit_ca action;
    __u8 slot;
    bool bpid;
 };

look at her. iconic. πŸ‘‘


🫢 Members 🫢

every single field, explained, because we don't gatekeep here:

  • result β€” this is a __u32 *, and it's where the command completion result from CQE dword0 lands. the receipt of the whole operation, fr fr. 🧾
  • args_size β€” an int, and it's literally just the size of struct nvme_fw_commit_args. she knows her own measurements, periodt. πŸ“
  • fd β€” the file descriptor of the nvme device. your little handle to the actual hardware. πŸŽ€
  • timeout β€” timeout in ms. milliseconds, bestie, not vibes. ⏳
  • action β€” the action to use for the firmware image, see enum nvme_fw_commit_ca. that enum holds the answer, go look at it. πŸ”
  • slot β€” the firmware slot to commit the downloaded image to. pick your slot, bestie. πŸ—‚οΈ
  • bpid β€” set to true to select the boot partition id. that's the whole job. βœ…

lowkey important: these are the exact fields, types and meanings β€” I'm not adding a single thing that wasn't already there, no cap. 🫑

and that's the page!! 🌈 this was struct nvme_fw_commit_args from the libnvme(9) API manual, dated August 2026 β€” mwah, love that for us, go commit some firmware responsibly, ily, bye bestie πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŒΈ
