libnvme(9)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to libnvme(9) — the libnvme API manual, and today's main character is literally this one struct: struct nvme_mgmt_addr_desc — the Management Address Descriptor. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole thing, no notes, copy it exactly bestie:

struct nvme_mgmt_addr_desc {
    __u8 mat;
    __u8 rsvd1[3];
    __u8 madrs[508];
 };

like, look at her. 512 bytes of pure structural elegance. she ate. 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

so these are the fields, and yes we're going through all of them, nobody gets left out:

• mat — the Management Address Type. this is the field that tells you what kind of management address you're dealing with. it's giving "hello, let me introduce myself." 🦋
• rsvd1 — Reserved, and there's 3 bytes of it (__u8 rsvd1[3]). bestie, do NOT touch it. reserved means reserved. hands off. 🙈
• madrs — the Management Address itself, chilling in a big ol' 508-byte array (__u8 madrs[508]). that's a whole lot of address. she's roomy. she's spacious. she's got main character energy. 💖

quick vibe check: 3 bytes reserved + 508 bytes of address + that one __u8 mat = the full struct. no cap, every field accounted for. ✨

aaaand that's the page!! 🫶 tysm for reading, you're literally the best. this was the struct nvme_mgmt_addr_desc page from the libnvme API Manual, section libnvme(9) — dated October 2026 in the source/version footer. periodt. 💜🌸
