✨ libnvme(9) — the API Manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page straight out of the libnvme API Manual, and it's a short one but it's iconic — we're talking about a little enum that tells you what kind of metadata element type you're looking at for a namespace. no cap, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nvme_ns_metadata_type — Namespace Metadata Element Types

like, literally the element types for namespace metadata. that's the name, that's the game. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole enum, copied exactly so you can't mess it up:

enum nvme_ns_metadata_type {
    NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_NAME ,
    NVME_NS_METADATA_PRE_BOOT_NS_NAME ,
    NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_1 ,
    NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_2

};

four constants, all in a row, looking cute. don't touch the commas, they're part of the fit. ✨

---

💖 Constants 💖

okay bestie, here's the breakdown of every single one of them — no skipping, we respect all four equally 👑

• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_NAME — the name of the namespace in the operating system. that's the OS's version of the name, main character energy fr fr.
• NVME_NS_METADATA_PRE_BOOT_NS_NAME — the name of the namespace in the pre-boot environment. yes, pre-boot, the before-times version. 🫶
• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_1 — the first qualifier of the Operating System Namespace Name. qualifier number one, living its best life.
• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_2 — the second qualifier of the Operating System Namespace Name. and qualifier number two, completing the set. the way they come in pairs 😭💜

lowkey a tiny page, highkey all the facts. four constants, zero fluff, and every single description kept intact. slay. 🌈

and that's the whole thing, bestie — this was enum nvme_ns_metadata_type from the libnvme(9) API Manual, dated October 2026, brought to you by the libnvme girlies. go forth and name your namespaces 🌸💅🦋
