libnvme(2)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, so this is libnvme section 2 β€” the API manual, and today's main character is literally:

struct nvme_zns_changed_zone_log β€” the ZNS Changed Zone List log πŸ¦‹

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's a struct, it's giving ZNS, it's logging changed zones, and we're gonna stan every last byte of it πŸ’…


πŸ“¦ SYNOPSIS πŸ“¦

here's the whole thing, verbatim, no crumbs left behind:

struct nvme_zns_changed_zone_log {
    __le16 nrzid;
    __u8 rsvd2[6];
    __le64 zid[NVME_ZNS_CHANGED_ZONES_MAX];
};

that's the layout, periodt. three members, one struct, zero drama ✨


πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

okay so let's go through them one by one, no skipping, i would never πŸ™ˆ

  • nrzid β€” the Number of Zone Identifiers. it's a __le16, so little-endian, so don't be out here reading it raw on a big-endian machine bestie, that's a whole different story. this lil guy tells you how many zone IDs you actually got πŸ’–
  • rsvd2 β€” Reserved. it's __u8 rsvd2[6], so six whole bytes of nothing, just space being held for the future like a seat reservation at a concert. do not touch it. do not read meaning into it. it's reserved, it's resting, let it rest 😌
  • zid β€” the Zone Identifier. specifically it's __le64 zid[NVME_ZNS_CHANGED_ZONES_MAX] β€” an array, so it's giving many zone IDs, up to NVME_ZNS_CHANGED_ZONES_MAX of them, each one a little-endian 64-bit number. absolute queen behavior πŸ‘‘
lowkey important: those are little-endian types (__le16, __le64), so byte order is not vibes-based, it's real. and zid is capped by NVME_ZNS_CHANGED_ZONES_MAX β€” that's the ceiling, no cap 🧒

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

hmm, so... this page doesn't actually list any SEE ALSO references. there's nothing after the Members section except the footer. no extra man pages, no cross-refs, no "go read this next." we're flying solo, bestie πŸ¦‹βœ¨


and that's a wrap on struct nvme_zns_changed_zone_log fr fr πŸ’œ may your zones change and your logs stay little-endian.

this was the libnvme API Manual, section 2, dated July 2026 β€” tysm for reading, you ate that, no notes πŸ’…βœ¨πŸŽ€
