libnvme(2)
π NAME π
okay so bestie, gather round β this is struct nvme_mi_read_nvm_ss_info, aka the NVM Subsystem Information Data Structure from the libnvme API manual. she's the little glow-up data blob that tells you how many ports your NVM subsystem has and which NVMe-MI version it's serving. iconic behavior tbh π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
here's the whole fit, no notes, exactly as she ships:
struct nvme_mi_read_nvm_ss_info {
__u8 nump;
__u8 mjr;
__u8 mnr;
__u8 rsvd3[29];
};
look at her. four fields. one of them is literally just 29 bytes of vibes and silence. we love a reserved queen π«Ά

numpβ Number of Ports. literally just how many ports this NVM subsystem has. count 'em πmjrβ NVMe-MI Major Version Number. the big-number part of the NVMe-MI version. main character digit fr.mnrβ NVMe-MI Minor Version Number. the lil' follow-up digit. she's serving backup dancer energy, but she matters β¨rsvd3β Reserved. twenty-nine bytes of do not touch. no cap, just leave her alone. reserved means reserved, bestie π
not me pointing at rsvd3 and being like "that's just padding" β it's Reserved, capital R, and the spec said what it said. do not go poking around in there, it's giving undefined behavior π
π¦ a lil sign-off π¦
that's the whole page, bestie β libnvme(2), from the API Manual, dated July 2026. go forth and read your subsystem info responsibly. slay, and also please respect the reserved bytes for once in your life. periodt. β¨ππ
