okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual, section 2 ofc — this is where the kernel-adjacent girlies hang out. today's main character is nvme_init_copy_range, and she's here to build you a copy range structure. no cap, that's the whole job. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nvme_init_copy_range (struct nvme_copy_range *copy , __u16 *nlbs ,
       __u64 *slbas , __u32 *eilbrts , __u32 *elbatms , __u32 *elbats , __u16

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

okay so here's the tea on every single one of these, don't skip a single one, they ALL matter:

• copy — Copy range array 💖
• nlbs — Number of logical blocks 🔥
• slbas — Starting LBA ⭐
• eilbrts — Expected initial logical block reference tag 🌸
• elbatms — Expected logical block application tag mask 🎀
• elbats — Expected logical block application tag 🦋
• nr — Number of descriptors to construct 👑

not me giving you all seven args and expecting you to just remember them 😭 bestie please double-check your nr matches your actual array length, iykyk.
