💖 libnvme(2) — API Manual, bestie edition 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct nvme_mi_vpd_telem — Vital Product Data Element Descriptor. that's it, that's the girl 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole look, don't blink:

struct nvme_mi_vpd_telem {
    __u8 type;
    __u8 rev;
    __u8 len;
    __u8 data[0];
 };

not me stressing that data[0] is a flexible array — that's the point, bestie, it's a trailer, it just keeps going 🫶

four fields, four icons, no filler. periodt.

• type — Type of the Element Descriptor.
• rev — Revision of the Element Descriptor.
• len — Number of bytes in the Element Descriptor.
• data — Type-specific information associated with the Element Descriptor.

---

so yeah. that's the descriptor: a type, a rev, a len, and then data carrying whatever the type says it carries. main character energy for a struct made of four __u8s, ngl 💀🦋

reminder to my future self: len is the byte count for the whole Element Descriptor, and data holds the type-specific info — it's all literally spelled out above, no vibes-based guessing allowed 🔥
