πŸ’… libnvme(9) β€” API Manual πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the API Manual for libnvme, section 9. today's main character is one (1) struct and honestly? she's small but she's doing the most. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

struct nvme_vs_event_desc β€” the Vendor Specific Event Descriptor. yes that's her full government name. no cap, that's literally the whole name section, we're not padding it πŸ’€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, written out exactly, no edits, no notes, we do not touch the code:

struct nvme_vs_event_desc {
    __le16 vsec;
    __u8 vsedt;
    __u8 uidx;
    __le16 vsedl;
 };

look at her. four little fields. iconic. the way that this struct is just sitting there holding vendor specific event data... obsessed 🌈


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

okay so this is the part you actually came for, the field-by-field breakdown. one bullet per member, all facts intact, let's go πŸ’–

  • vsec β€” the Vendor Specific Event Code. it's a __le16, so little-endian, and it's exactly what it says on the tin: the code for the vendor specific event πŸ”₯
  • vsedt β€” the Vendor Specific Event Data Type. a __u8, tiny but mighty, telling you what type of data we're dealing with here πŸ¦‹
  • uidx β€” the UUID Index. also a __u8. it's giving index energy, it's giving "which UUID are we talking about" energy ✨
  • vsedl β€” the Vendor Specific Event Data Length. a __le16 this time, little-endian, and it's the length of the vendor specific event data. she's measuring things. respect πŸ’…
ngl that's literally all of them β€” four members, each one named exactly as the original says it, no guessing, no extra lore. if it's not in the page, it's not in the page. periodt πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole struct, bestie. short page, clean page, no notes. go forth and handle your vendor specific event descriptors responsibly 🧚
