💅 nvme_init_i...entify_id_ns(9) — the libnvme API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this page lives in the libnvme API manual and it is literally about setting up one very specific passthru command. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_identify_csi_independent_identify_id_ns — initialize the passthru command for the I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace data structure 🦋

like yes, the name is a whole paragraph, we know, we're obsessed with her anyway 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_identify_csi_independent_identify_id_ns (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , __u32 nsid , struct nvme_id_independent_id_ns *ns );

three arguments, one function, zero drama 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cmd — the command data structure you're initializing. this is the glow-up target, bestie 💖
  • nsid — return namespaces greater than this identifier. yes, greater than — it's giving "strictly after this one" energy 👑
  • ns — the I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace data structure. the main character of this whole operation 🌈

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does she actually do? she initializes the passthru command buffer for the Identify command, and she sets the CNS value to NVME_IDENTIFY_CNS_CSI_INDEPENDENT_ID_NS. that's it. that's the tea ☕

literally just buffer setup with that exact CNS value — no extra steps, no hidden lore, iykyk 💀

heads up bestie: every detail up there is load-bearing. the CNS value NVME_IDENTIFY_CNS_CSI_INDEPENDENT_ID_NS is the whole point of the function, so don't go swapping it out 🙈

⭐ that's the page!! fr fr no filler. this iconic little entry comes to you from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 — mwah, sending you a little kiss, go initialize those buffers 💜🧚‍♀️
