okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual β€” yes that's the manual we're in, and yes this page is short, but it's iconic and we're gonna read it together 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_init_get_log_rate_limiting β€” the one that initializes the passthru command for Rate Limiting. that's it. that's the whole job. main character energy but make it a log page πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void nvme_init_get_log_rate_limiting (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd ,
__u64 lpo , void *log , __u32 len );

like, she takes four things and returns void β€” no drama, no return value, she just does the thing πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • cmd β€” the passthru command you're gonna use. this is the one getting set up, so hand her over fr fr ✨

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so what does she actually do? she initializes the passthru command buffer for the Get Log command, with the LID value NVME_LOG_LID_RATE_LIMITING. that's the vibe check: Get Log + that specific LID, all set up and ready πŸ’–

no cap, no extra steps, no secret sauce β€” that's the whole description and she ate πŸ”₯


lowkey the most important thing here is that LID constant: NVME_LOG_LID_RATE_LIMITING. if you're not passing that vibe, you're on a different log page entirely, iykyk πŸ™ˆ

and that's the page!! this little cutie comes from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, go initialize some rate limiting logs, you got this πŸ§šβ­πŸ’…
