nvme_mi_ctrl_id(2)

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_mi_ctrl_id — bestie, this gets you the ID of a controller 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

__u16 nvme_mi_ctrl_id (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ctrl — the controller you're asking about, like literally the one you wanna query 🫶

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so, this is the glow-up where you retrieve the ID of the controller. And not just any random made-up number, no ma'am — it's as defined by hardware, and it's sitting right there available in the Identify (Controller List) data. Iconic behavior, honestly.

Now, the tea ☕: this value is the exact thing that got passed to nvme_mi_init_ctrl. But — plot twist — it may have been created internally via nvme_mi_scan_ep. So like, you might not even remember handing it over, and it's still valid. She works hard, no cap. 💀

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the (locally-stored) ID of this controller. That's it, that's the whole queen. 👑

sooooo this lil page came from the libnvme API manual, and the whole vibe got stamped July 2026 with the name nvme_mi_ctrl_id on the top AND the bottom (she's consistent, we love that). mwah, bye bestie 💖🦋
