💅 nvme_init_manage_export_nvms_send_associate_controllers ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and the function we're stanning is nvme_init_manage_export_nvms_send_associate_controllers 🎀 (yes it's a long name, yes it ate, we move).

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_manage_export_nvms_send_associate_controllers — Initialize passthru command for Manage Exported NVM Subsystem Send - Associate Controllers (memory-based transports only, iykyk 👀)

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void nvme_init_manage_export_nvms_send_associate_controllers (struct
libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , __u16 esubid , struct
nvme_exported_ctrl_assoc_data *data , __u32 len );

like, that's the whole signature, no cap 💀

---

⭐ ARGUMENTS ⭐

• cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use, bestie. this is the buffer we're setting up ✨
• esubid — the Exported NVM Subsystem Identifier (ESUBID) of the target Exported NVM Subsystem 👑 that's a __u16, don't @ me
• data — the Associate Controllers data buffer. literally see struct nvme_exported_ctrl_assoc_data 🫶
• len — length of data. it's a __u32, periodt 💅

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what this icon does is initialize the passthru command buffer for the Manage Exported NVM Subsystem Send command 🎀 — and specifically with the SEL value set to:

NVME_MANAGE_EXPORT_NVMS_SEND_SEL_ASSOCIATE_CONTROLLERS

that's the whole vibe 🌈. you hand it a command struct, an ESUBID, your data buffer, and a length, and it does the buffer setup so the command is ready to go. memory-based transports only tho — don't come for me if you're on something else 🙈

fr fr the "memory-based transports only" part isn't a suggestion, it's the whole scope of this function. lowkey important 💀

🧚 little sign-off 🧚

that's the whole page, bestie — courtesy of the libnvme API manual, dated October ... (the footer got a little cut off, the way that it does 😭), and yes the footer is out here spelling the function name as nvme_init_manage_export_nvms_send_associate_controllers in all its glorious 51-character entirety. slay. 💅✨🎀
