libnvme(2)

💖 NAME 💖

enum nvme_ns_metadata_type — it's giving Namespace Metadata Element Types, bestie ✨

So basically this is the little enum (from the libnvme API manual, iykyk) that tells you which flavor of namespace metadata element you're looking at 🌸 No cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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

};

Like. That's the whole thing. Four constants, zero drama, main character energy 💅

👑 Constants 👑

okay so bestie, here are the four icons — every single one of them, no skipping, periodt:

• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_NAME — the name of the namespace in the operating system 🫶 that's it, that's the vibe.
• NVME_NS_METADATA_PRE_BOOT_NS_NAME — the name of the namespace in the pre-boot environment. (yes the pre-boot era, we love a little throwback 🙈)
• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_1 — the first qualifier of the Operating System Namespace Name. lowkey just qualifier number one, and it knows it ✨
• NVME_NS_METADATA_OS_NS_QUAL_2 — the second qualifier of the Operating System Namespace Name. the sequel 🎀 and honestly? it ate.

---

vibe check: these are just enum constants, so no danger here, no deprecated nonsense, no undefined behaviour — just four little metadata element types living their truth 🌈

okay that's the whole page, bestie 💜 this was the enum nvme_ns_metadata_type page from the libnvme API Manual, and the source/version + date stamp was July 2026 — consider yourself fully caught up. stay iconic, go name some namespaces, mwah 💅🌸
