nvme_init_ctrl_list(2)

✨ nvme_init_ctrl_list — the libnvme API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so real talk, this is nvme_init_ctrl_list(2) from the libnvme API manual, and it's honestly giving "small function, big main character energy" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_ctrl_list — bestie, this initializes an nvme_ctrl_list structure from an array. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_ctrl_list (struct nvme_ctrl_list *cntlist , __u16
num_ctrls , __u16 *ctrlist );

like. it returns void. it does the thing. no notes. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• cntlist — the controller list structure you're initializing. the glow-up target. ✨
• num_ctrls — the number of controllers in the array, ctrlist. count them. carefully. 😭
• ctrlist — an array of controller identifiers in CPU native endian. yes, native endian, don't @ me. 🔥

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the tea is: this is intended to be used with any command that takes a controller list argument. like, that's its whole purpose, its entire reason for existing, its moment. 👑

and it's lowkey a duo situation — it's meant to go with nvme_ns_attach_ctrls and nvme_ns_detach. iykyk. 🧚

fr fr just pass your nvme_ctrl_list *, your __u16 count and your __u16 array pointed at controller identifiers in CPU native endian, and let it cook. no cap. 🌈
