✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme(9) API Manual page — we're talking about struct nvme_host_metadata, aka the literal Host Metadata Data Structure. that's the whole vibe. 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the exact struct, no cap — read it, love it, memorize it:

       struct nvme_host_metadata {
           __u8 ndesc;
           __u8 rsvd1;
           union {
             struct nvme_metadata_element_desc descs[0];
             __u8 descs_buf[4094];
           };
        };

💅 Members 💅

• ndesc — Number of metadata element descriptors. slay, we love a count. ✨
• rsvd1 — Reserved. it's giving "don't touch, bestie" energy. 🙈
• {unnamed_union} — anonymous. yes, the union is literally unnamed — mysterious main character energy. 🎀
• descs — Metadata element descriptors. iconic. 👑
• descs_buf — Metadata element descriptor buffer. the buffer bestie in question. 🦋
