libnvme(9)

πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’– libnvme(9) β€” like, the API Manual, bestie πŸ’–

Okay so gather round, because today we're looking at a tiny little struct that lives in the API Manual and it's honestly such a vibe. It's giving "small but mighty" and I'm obsessed. 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_id_iocs β€” the NVMe Identify IO Command Set data structure. Yes, that's the whole name, and yes she ate. πŸ‘‘


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the whole thing, fr fr β€” no cap, this is literally all of it:

struct nvme_id_iocs {
    __le64 iocsc[512];
 };

That's it. That's the struct. Main character energy in like four lines. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

  • iocsc β€” the list of supported IO Command Set Combination vectors. Lowkey the whole personality of this struct ngl. It's a __le64 array of 512, and it's holding all the supported combos for you. Iconic. ⭐

Real talk though bestie: the values in iocsc are little-endian (__le64), so don't go reading them raw on a big-endian machine unless you enjoy chaos. 😭 That's just what the type says β€” the manpage told me, I'm just passing it along. πŸ’€

And that's the page! Short, sweet, and to the point β€” much like struct nvme_id_iocs herself. 🌈

Hope that cleared things up, bestie β€” go forth and identify those IO Command Sets. πŸ§šπŸ’œ
