✨ nvme_init_identify_iocs_ind_id_alloc_ns ✨

okay bestie, buckle up πŸ’– this one is a libnvme API manual page, and yes the name is a whole entire paragraph, we're getting through it together 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_identify_iocs_ind_id_alloc_ns β€” the function that initializes a passthru command for the I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace data structure for an Allocated Namespace ID. yes. all of that. it's giving "my name is long but i ate" πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

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

three args, one void return, zero drama (well, mostly) ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • cmd β€” the command data structure you're initializing. this is the main character of the whole operation ngl πŸ‘‘
  • nsid β€” the allocated namespace identifier. a __u32, no cap 🫢
  • ns β€” the I/O Command Set Independent Identify Namespace data structure. say that three times fast, i dare you 😭

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

so what does it actually do? it initializes the passthru command buffer for the Identify command, and it does it with the CNS value NVME_IDENTIFY_CNS_IOCS_IND_ID_ALLOC_NS β€” that exact constant, character for character, keep it in your notes bestie πŸ“βœ¨

that's it. that's the whole vibe. lowkey iconic for how much the name overshadows the job πŸ’€
