libnvme(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is libnvme(9), from the API Manual — and the main character is struct nvmf_connect_data - Data payload for the 'connect' command. no cap, that's the whole plot 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, exactly as written — do not come for the spacing, it's iconic:

       struct nvmf_connect_data {
           __u8 hostid[16];
           __le16 cntlid;
           char rsvd4[238];
           char subsysnqn[NVME_NQN_LENGTH];
           char hostnqn[NVME_NQN_LENGTH];
           char rsvd5[256];
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

• hostid — Host ID of the connecting host. that's the ID of the host doing the connecting 🌸
• cntlid — Requested controller ID. yep, the controller ID that's being requested ✨
• rsvd4 — Reserved. so reserved, bestie — it's giving "do not touch" 💅
• subsysnqn — Subsystem NQN to connect to. the exact subsystem NQN you're connecting to 🦋
• hostnqn — Host NQN of the connecting host. the host NQN of the host that's connecting 💖
• rsvd5 — Reserved. also reserved, also not your business 🫶
