💖 nvme_init_ns_mgmt_delete(9) 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the libnvme API manual and bestie, it's a little one but it's important — it's giving "small function, big main character energy" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_ns_mgmt_delete — the glow-up ritual that initializes a passthru command to delete a non attached namespace 🗑️✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void nvme_init_ns_mgmt_delete (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd , __u32 nsid );

that's it. two args, one void return, zero drama. periodt 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • cmd — the passthru command you're gonna use 🫶 this is the buffer getting set up, so hand it over and let the function do its thing.
  • nsid — the namespace identifier you wanna delete 💀 literally just the namespace you're coming for.

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the tea ☕ — this function initializes the passthru command buffer for the Namespace Management - Delete command, aka NVME_NS_MGMT_SEL_DELETE 🔥 no cap, that's the selector it's using.

And the way that it works? The command uses the nsid you passed in as the target NSID 🎯 so like, whatever namespace identifier you hand over, that's the one the command is pointed at. iykyk 👑
