nvme_init_copy_range_f1(2)

nvme_init_copy_range_f1 πŸ’–

okay bestie so this is the nvme_init_copy_range_f1 page from the libnvme API manual, and no cap, it's giving "tiny function, huge vibe". It's a manual page, section 2, and it's about constructing a copy range f1 structure. That's literally the whole personality. Let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_init_copy_range_f1 β€” constructs a copy range f1 structure

like. she builds the thing. that's her job. she does it well πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_copy_range_f1 (struct nvme_copy_range_f1 *copy , __u16
*nlbs , __u64 *slbas , __u64 *eilbrts , __u32 *elbatms , __u32 *elbats ,
__u16 nr );

not me typing out all seven params. SEVEN. she's high maintenance and honestly? deserved πŸ‘‘


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • copy β€” the copy range array. yes, the whole array. she's the main character here, everything else is supporting cast 🌸
  • nlbs β€” number of logical blocks. how many blocks we talkin' πŸŽ€
  • slbas β€” starting LBA. where the party starts ⭐
  • eilbrts β€” expected initial logical block reference tag. say that five times fast, I dare you 😭
  • elbatms β€” expected logical block application tag mask. the mask. the mystery. the moment πŸ’œ
  • elbats β€” expected logical block application tag. yes, it's one letter off from elbatms. no, that's not a typo, that's just how libnvme does, iykyk πŸ’€
  • nr β€” number of descriptors to construct. like, how many of them. the count. the amount. slay 🫢
real talk though: watch that elbatms vs elbats situation. one character of difference, two completely different meanings, and that's exactly the kind of thing that will humble you at 2am πŸŒ™

the vibe check πŸ’«

void return, so she doesn't hand anything back β€” she just fills in copy for you. nr tells her how many descriptors to build. everything else is fuel. that's it, that's the function, and honestly? iconic πŸ”₯


and that's the whole page, babe πŸ’– this was the nvme_init_copy_range_f1 entry from the libnvme API manual, dated July 2026, taglined nvme_init_copy_range_f1 on both ends because she likes symmetry ✨ mwah, go construct some copy ranges, ily πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹
