✨ libnvme β€” struct nvme_mi_mi_resp_hdr ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme(9) API Manual page 🫢 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic β€” it's all about the MI response message header. yes, the whole page. it's giving "one struct, zero notes" πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

struct nvme_mi_mi_resp_hdr β€” the MI response message header. that's it, that's the whole vibe πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct nvme_mi_mi_resp_hdr {
    struct nvme_mi_msg_hdr hdr;
    __u8 status;
    __u8 nmresp[3];
 };

look at her. three members, one generically-typed header, no cap πŸ”₯


🌸 Members 🌸

  • hdr β€” the generic MI message header. the little universal intro every message gets, fr fr.
  • status β€” the generic response status from the command. and listen, bestie: non-zero means failure 😭 so if this isn't zero, something did NOT slay and you should probably pay attention.
  • nmresp β€” the NVMe Management Response πŸ’… this is the command-type-specific response data, i.e. the part where each command brings its own main-character energy πŸ‘‘

🌈 Description 🌈

this is the wire format for the MI response message header, defined in section 5 of NVMe-MI ⭐ so like, if you're parsing bytes off the wire, this is the exact layout you're looking at β€” header first, then status, then those 3 bytes of nmresp. it's giving "on the wire and unbothered" 🧚


πŸ’€ tiny reminder for the group chat: status being non-zero = failure. don't ignore her. she's trying to tell you something.

and that's the page, bestie!! short, iconic, fully documented πŸ’œ this was the struct nvme_mi_mi_resp_hdr page from the API Manual, dated October 2026 🌸 mwah, go read some NVMe-MI spec section 5 and slay βœ¨πŸŽ€
