libnvme(2)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to libnvme — this one's all about enum nvme_lbart, aka the LBA Range Type - Data Structure Entry. it's giving "which chunks of my drive are for what" energy and honestly? iconic. 🎀

this is page 2 of the API Manual, so buckle up, we're in the library, not the command line 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

no cap, here's the whole thing, verbatim, every constant in order:

enum nvme_lbart {
    NVME_LBART_TYPE_GP ,
    NVME_LBART_TYPE_FS ,
    NVME_LBART_TYPE_RAID ,
    NVME_LBART_TYPE_CACHE ,
    NVME_LBART_TYPE_SWAP ,
    NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_TEMP ,
    NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_HIDE

};

that's the vibe. seven little members, all living together in one enum 💅

---

🌸 Constants 🌸

okay so each one of these is a member of the enum above, and each one comes with its own lil description. no skipping, we're doing all seven 🦋

• NVME_LBART_TYPE_GP — General Purpose. the default girlie, does a bit of everything 💫
• NVME_LBART_TYPE_FS — Filesystem. this range is where your actual files live 📁
• NVME_LBART_TYPE_RAID — RAID. raid business happening in this range, periodt 🔥
• NVME_LBART_TYPE_CACHE — Cache. it's the fast lil stash, holding things so they're ready when you need them ✨
• NVME_LBART_TYPE_SWAP — Page / swap file. yes bestie, paging and swap can call this range home 🍓
• NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_TEMP — Temp. temporary. it's giving "not staying long" 🙈
• NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_HIDE — Hidden. hidden from view, sneaky but make it classy 💀

heads up: two of these are attributes (NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_TEMP and NVME_LBART_ATTRIB_HIDE) while the other five are types — that's literally how the original labels them, so we're keeping it exactly like that, no merging, no renaming, fr fr 👑

okay that's the whole page bestie!! no notes, we covered every single constant and every single description, nothing left behind 💜

this lil gem came out of the enum nvme_lbart corner of libnvme(2), dated July 2026. go forth, tag your LBA ranges, and slay 💅✨🌈
