💖 nvme_virtual_mgmt(2) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual, and today's main character is nvme_virtual_mgmt — the Virtualization resource management girlie 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_virtual_mgmt — Virtualization resource management, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_virtual_mgmt (struct nvme_virtual_mgmt_args *args );

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• args — this is your struct nvme_virtual_mgmt_args argument structure bestie, the whole vibe lives in here 🫶

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, the Virtualization Management command? it's supported by primary controllers that support the Virtualization Enhancements capability. that's the prerequisite, periodt. 💜

and this one command is doing several jobs, because why have one function when you can have three:

• Modifying Flexible Resource allocation for the primary controller 🔥
• Assigning Flexible Resources for secondary controllers 🌸
• Setting the Online and Offline state for secondary controllers 🦋

it's giving multitasking icon behavior honestly ✨

---

✨ RETURN ✨

you get the nvme command status if a response was received (peep enum nvme_status_field for the deets), OR you get -1 with errno set otherwise 😭 that's the plot twist bestie, check your errno.

lowkey important: -1 means look at errno, don't just spiral. 💀

---

...and that's the whole page bestie, you ate that 🍓
