nvme_init_directive_recv(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for nvme_init_directive_recv(9) from the libnvme API manual — and yes, that (9) means it's a kernel/API-section page, we love a niche queen 👑

nvme_init_directive_recv — Initializes the passthru command for Directive Receive 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void nvme_init_directive_recv (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , __u32 nsid , enum nvme_directive_receive_doper doper , enum nvme_directive_dtype dtype , __u16 dspec , void *data , __u32 len );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap. seven arguments, one function, zero chill 🫶

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use. it's a struct libnvme_passthru_cmd * and it's literally the main character here, everything gets written into it ✨
• nsid — Namespace ID, if applicable. it's __u32, and yeah "if applicable" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there 🙈
• doper — the Directive receive operation. it's an enum nvme_directive_receive_doper, so go look at that enum, iykyk 🔥
• dtype — the Directive type. enum nvme_directive_dtype, again — check the enum, it's giving reference-material energy 📚
• dspec — the Directive specific field. __u16, short and sweet 🍓
• data — userspace address of the data payload buffer. void * so it's whatever you need it to be, we stan flexibility 💜
• len — length of the data payload in bytes. __u32. please actually set this, bestie 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it initializes the passthru command buffer for the Directive Receive command. that's it, that's the whole vibe — it sets up cmd so it's ready to go for Directive Receive, and then you take it from there 👑

no return value mentioned, no error codes, no wild side quests — it's a void function, it just does the thing and dips 🧚

---

heads up: this page only tells you it initializes the buffer. it doesn't spell out the deeper behaviour, so don't go inventing semantics — the enum definitions for doper and dtype are where the real lore lives 🌈

that's the tea, bestie 💖 this was nvme_init_directive_recv(9) from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 — go forth and initialize your passthru commands, periodt ⭐
