🌸 nvme_mi_admin_identify_ns(2) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual — this is the page for nvme_mi_admin_identify_ns, and honestly? it's giving "one function, one job, zero drama." 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_mi_admin_identify_ns — Perform an Admin identify command for a namespace 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_mi_admin_identify_ns (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , __u32 nsid , struct
nvme_id_ns *ns );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• ctrl — the controller that's gonna process this identify command, like the responsible main character it is 👑
• nsid — the namespace ID, aka which namespace we're talking about, no cap 🔥
• ns — the namespace identification struct we're gonna populate, so she gets all filled in 💖

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically, this performs an Identify (namespace) command, and it sets the namespace id data into ns. 🎀

Friendly little heads-up though, bestie: the namespace is expected to be active and allocated. That's the vibe check this function is running — if the namespace isn't holding up its end of the deal, that's on you, not on her. 🙈

---

✨ RETURN ✨

If a response came back, you get the nvme command status (see enum nvme_status_field for the whole squad of possibilities). If not? You get -1 with errno set, and honestly that's the "we don't know her" outcome 😭
