NVME_INIT_IDENTIFY_CTRL_LIST-LIBNVME3(2)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, this is nvme_init_identify_ctrl_list — it initializes the passthru command for the Controller List of controllers. literally what it says on the tin ✨

this little icon is hanging out in the libnvme API manual (yes, the libnvme era, we love to see it 🫶), so you know it's the real deal.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_identify_ctrl_list (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd ,
       __u16 cntid , struct nvme_ctrl_list *cntlist );

no cap, that's the whole signature. three args, void return, main character energy 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cmd — the command data structure you're initializing, bestie. this is the glow-up in progress 💖
• cntid — the starting CNTLID to return in the list. like, where the list begins, iykyk 🌸
• cntlist — the user space destination address to transfer the data to. that's where the good stuff lands 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so what does it actually do? it initializes the passthru command buffer for the Identify command with CNS value NVME_IDENTIFY_CNS_CTRL_LIST. that's it, that's the vibe ⭐

you hand it a cmd, a starting cntid, and a cntlist destination, and it sets that passthru buffer up so the Identify command knows it's asking for the controller list. slay 💅

ngl this one is short and sweet — no hidden gotchas, no warnings, no exit statuses, just a clean little initializer doing its thing 🧚
