libnvme(9)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

okay so this is the manual page for libnvme(9) β€” the API manual, bestie β€” and specifically for struct nvme_resv_report_args, which is literally the arguments struct for the NVMe Reservation Report command. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it's giving "tiny struct, big responsibility" ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

here's the whole thing, no cap:

struct nvme_resv_report_args {
    __u32 *result;
    struct nvme_resv_status *report;
    int args_size;
    int fd;
    __u32 timeout;
    __u32 nsid;
    __u32 len;
    bool eds;
 };

like… eight members. a little baby struct. but every single one of them matters, so let's get into it πŸ’…


🌸 Members 🌸

  • result β€” the command completion result that comes from CQE dword0. yes queen, dword0. that's where the answer lives 🫢
  • report β€” the user space destination address where the reservation report gets stored. it's the where do we put the goods field πŸŽ€
  • args_size β€” the size of struct nvme_resv_report_args itself. it's the "how big am I" field. self-aware king πŸ’€
  • fd β€” file descriptor of the nvme device. your ticket in, fr fr πŸ”₯
  • timeout β€” timeout in ms. milliseconds, so like, blink and you might miss it ⏱️
  • nsid β€” namespace identifier. gotta know which namespace you're talking to 🌈
  • len β€” number of bytes to request transferred with this command. be precise about it, bestie ⭐
  • eds β€” request extended Data Structure. capital D capital S, very serious, very iconic πŸ‘‘

lowkey the whole point: fill these in right, and the Reservation Report command knows exactly what you want and where to put it. get them wrong and… well. πŸ™ˆ

that's the whole page, gorgeous. stay slay, stay aligned, and may all your struct fields be initialized πŸ’œ
