π ARGUMENTS π
fdβ File descriptor of nvme device π«Ά this is your lil handle to the device, the entryway, the portal, the whole vibe.nsidβ Namespace ID π which namespace are we talking to, bestie? gotta be specific.nr_rangesβ Number of ranges in data π fr fr, just count them. how many ranges live indata? that many.saveβ Save value across power states π so it survives a power cycle? yes ma'am, set this and it persists. iconic behaviour honestly.dataβ User address of feature data π a pointer, your address, your feature data. that's it, that's the whole thing.resultβ The command completion result from CQE dword0 π yes dword0, the classic. the completion queue entry hands you this lil nugget.
π RETURN π
