✨ libnvme(9) — API Manual ✨

okay bestie, buckle up 💖 this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and today's main character is a struct. yes, a struct. she's giving "quiet but essential" and honestly? iconic.

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nvme_lba_range_type_entry — LBA Range Type - Data Structure Entry

like, literally the data structure entry for an LBA range type. that's her whole job. no cap. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct nvme_lba_range_type_entry {
    __u8 type;
    __u8 attributes;
    __u8 rsvd2[14];
    __le64 slba;
    __le64 nlb;
    __u8 guid[16];
    __u8 rsvd48[16];
 };

look at her. seven fields. perfectly balanced. the padding is doing its thing, the little rsvd arrays are just vibing in the background, and the two __le64s are the actual moment. 🎀

👑 Members 👑

okay so here's the breakdown, field by field, no skipping, i promise 🫶

  • type — Specifies the Type of the LBA range. like, what kind of range are we even talking about here. main character energy, honestly.
  • attributes — Specifies attributes of the LBA range. the little extra details that make her her. ✨
  • rsvd2 — Reserved. she's not for you. leave her alone. 🙈
  • slba — Starting LBA. where the range begins, fr fr. the origin story.
  • nlb — Number of Logical Blocks. how many blocks we're working with — the count, the whole vibe check. 🔥
  • guid — Unique Identifier. one of a kind, obviously. she's that girl. 💅
  • rsvd48 — Reserved. also not for you. reserved means reserved, bestie. 💀
none of the reserved fields are yours to touch, okay? they're reserved for a reason and i'm not gonna sit here and pretend otherwise. iykyk.

and that's the whole page, bestie 🧚 you read the whole struct, you read every field, you did not skip the reserved ones — proud of you. 💜
