✨ NAME ✨

nvme_init_directive_send — initialize passthru command for Directive Send. Okay bestie, this is the glow-up function that gets your passthru command ready for the Directive Send command, no cap. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

Here's the signature, and yes, copy it exactly — character for character, periodt:

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

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• cmd — Passthru command to use. This is the passthru command buffer you're setting up, bestie. 🫶
• nsid — Namespace ID, if applicable. Key words: if applicable. ✨
• doper — Directive send operation, see enum nvme_directive_send_doper. The enum is right there, iykyk. 👑
• dtype — Directive type, see enum nvme_directive_dtype. Another enum moment, slay. 🌈
• dspec — Directive specific field. That's the directive-specific little field, literally. 🎀
• data — Data payload buffer to be send. The payload goes here, fr fr. 🍓
• len — Length of data payload in bytes. Byte count, not vibe count. 💀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so what does it actually do? It initializes the passthru command buffer for the Directive Send command. That's the whole plot. It's giving "set up the passthru command buffer so the Directive Send command can do its thing," and it returns void, so no return-value drama. 🧚

Bestie note: the signature is void, so don't go looking for a return value. There isn't one. 💖
