libnvme(2)

πŸ’– libnvme(2) β€” the manual page, but make it cute πŸ’–

okay bestie, pull up a chair, grab a boba, because today we're meeting a little struct from the libnvme(2) API manual and honestly? she's tiny but she ate. this is struct nvme_mi_port_smb β€” all your SMBus Port Specific Data in one adorable package. no cap, it's giving "small but important." 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_mi_port_smb β€” SMBus Port Specific Data

like, that's literally her whole job description. she holds port data. she slays at it. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole glow-up, verbatim, don't touch a single character or she will notice:

struct nvme_mi_port_smb {
    __u8 vpd_addr;
    __u8 mvpd_freq;
    __u8 mme_addr;
    __u8 mme_freq;
    __u8 nvmebm;
    __u8 rsvd13[19];
 };

look at her. six fields. simple. elegant. a main character who knows exactly what she is. πŸŽ€


✨ Members ✨

okay now the meet-cute with every single field, one by one, no skipping, no summarizing, we respect all of them equally:

  • vpd_addr β€” Current VPD SMBus/I2C Address. this is where the VPD lives right now, address-wise. iconic little location tag. πŸ“
  • mvpd_freq β€” Maximum VPD Access SMBus/I2C Frequency. note the Maximum β€” this is the ceiling, the limit, the "do not exceed" of VPD access frequency. ⚑
  • mme_addr β€” Current Management Endpoint SMBus/I2C Address. same vibe as vpd_addr but for the Management Endpoint. two addresses, two besties, both valid. πŸ‘‘
  • mme_freq β€” Maximum Management Endpoint SMBus/I2C Frequency. again, Maximum!! this is the cap for Management Endpoint frequency. do not test her. 🚫
  • nvmebm β€” NVMe Basic Management. the field named exactly what it does, which is honestly so refreshing. straightforward queen. ⭐
  • rsvd13 β€” Reserved. ✨ reserved ✨. that's it. that's the lore. __u8 rsvd13[19] is nineteen whole bytes of "mind your business, this is for later." do not poke the reserved bytes bestie, they're saving those for a rainy day. πŸ™ˆ
heads up: rsvd13 is Reserved and that's the only thing the manual says about it β€” so treat those 19 bytes like a closed door at a party. wave, don't walk in. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page!! every flag, every member, every byte accounted for. nothing skipped, nothing invented, just vibes preserved exactly. 🧚

cute little sign-off: this page came from the API Manual β€” libnvme(2) β€” and it's dated July 2026, with struct nvme_mi_port_smb as the star of the show. go forth and reference her correctly, bestie. periodt. πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€πŸ¦‹πŸŒΈπŸ«Ά
