πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’– nvme_init_lm_track_receive πŸ’–

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>libnvme API manual</pink> page for nvme_init_lm_track_receive β€” yes that's a whole mouthful, but she's literally the one who sets up your Track Receive command and honestly? iconic behavior.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_lm_track_receive (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , __u8
sel , __u16 cntlid , void *data , __u32 len );

no cap, that's the whole signature. she returns void, she takes five things, she does not play about it πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • cmd β€” the passthru command you're gonna use. like, the vessel. the main character. you hand her over and she gets initialized 🫢
  • sel β€” the Select field, aka SEL. this one tells you what kind of management operation is being performed. think of it as the vibe check for the operation πŸ‘‘
  • cntlid β€” the Controller Identifier, aka CNTLID. this specifies the identifier of the controller for which the tracked memory changes (if any!!) are to be returned. she's used by the Tracked Memory Changes management operation, so yes, she's kind of a big deal ✨
  • data β€” pointer to the data buffer. just a pointer. that's it. that's the whole thing πŸ¦‹
  • len β€” length of data. how much data? this much data. thanks len πŸ“

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does she actually do? she initializes the passthru command buffer for the Track Receive command. that's it, that's the job, and she ate πŸ’€βœ¨


lowkey reminder: every field above needs to be passed exactly as documented β€” sel, cntlid, data and len all get handed to cmd, so don't be out here guessing, bestie 😭

and that's the page!! this little gem comes to you courtesy of the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 β€” mwah, go forth and initialize your passthru commands, ily πŸ’œπŸ§š
