libnvme(9)

πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’– libnvme(9) β€” like, the API Manual bestie πŸ’–

okay so before we even get into it: this is libnvme, section 9 of the manual, and it's documenting exactly one little struct. one. and she's iconic for it. let's go 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_ns_list β€” Namespace List

that's it. that's the whole name section. she's a list of namespaces and she's not pretending otherwise πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bestie, here's the whole shape of her, character for character, don't touch:

struct nvme_ns_list {
    __le32 ns[NVME_ID_NS_LIST_MAX];
 };

like… look at her. an array of __le32 called ns, sized by NVME_ID_NS_LIST_MAX. no cap, that's the entire struct. sometimes the main character is a struct that knows exactly what it is and does not need a personality change ⭐


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

okay one (1) member, and she's the whole point of the show:

  • ns β€” Namespace Identifier πŸ’œ

that's your namespace identifier right there. the list lives in ns, and ns holds namespace identifiers. circular? no. slay? yes. 🌈


lowkey a reminder: the Members section literally lists one thing, so don't go looking for secret extra fields. there are none. she's minimal and she ate πŸ”₯

and that's the vibe check, bestie β€” we're done!! this page came from the libnvme crew, it's the struct nvme_ns_list page in section 9, and it's dated October 2026. run free with your namespace list, you absolute queen πŸ‘‘βœ¨πŸ“
