nvme_init_get_log_ana(9)

💖 nvme_init_get_log_ana — like, the whole manual, bestie 💖

okay so this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and it's about nvme_init_get_log_ana — the lil function that sets up your passthru command for Asymmetric Namespace Access. Yes, ANA. It's giving topology-aware realness ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nvme_init_get_log_ana (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , enum
nvme_log_ana_lsp lsp , __u64 lpo , void *log , __u32 len );

it returns void, so like… no return value to obsess over. it just does the thing 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use. this is the one getting filled in, so hand it over 💅
• lsp — the log specific bits, and fr fr you should check enum nvme_get_log_ana_lsp for the deets
• lpo — offset to the start of the log page. it's a __u64, so it goes hard 🌈
• log — your user address where the ana log gets stored. that's your void *, bestie 🦋
• len — the allocated length of the log page. a __u32, no cap 💜

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically this initializes the passthru command buffer for the Get Log command, and it does it with LID value NVME_LOG_LID_ANA. that's it, that's the vibe check — iconic, clean, no notes 👑

ngl the whole point is just prepping that buffer, but if you skip it nothing's gonna slay. set it up first, then fire your command 🧚

and that's the page!! it came from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled nvme_init_get_log_ana(9) — same as the function, periodt 💅⭐
