🌸 libnvme(2) — API Manual 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme manual page for struct nvmf_connect_data 💖 pull up a chair, this one's cute and honestly pretty chill.

✨ NAME ✨

struct nvmf_connect_data — the data payload for the 'connect' command 🫶

no cap, that's literally all it is. it's the lil bundle of info you hand over when you're connecting. iconic behavior.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

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];
 };

look at her. she's giving structured data. the reserved chunks are just there holding space, and honestly? we respect it 🙈

🎀 Members 🎀

here's the breakdown, field by field, no skips, no cuts, we do NOT gatekeep here 💅

• hostid — the Host ID of the host that's doing the connecting. it's you. you're the host. main character energy fr fr 👑
• cntlid — the requested controller ID. you're asking for it, politely, with your whole chest ✨
• rsvd4 — Reserved. do not touch. she's resting 😴
• subsysnqn — the Subsystem NQN you wanna connect to. this is the "where am I going" of the whole situation 🗺️
• hostnqn — the Host NQN of the host that's connecting. this is the "who am I" 🪪
• rsvd5 — Reserved. also resting. also untouched. we simply do not perceive her 🙈💜

real talk though — those rsvd4 and rsvd5 fields are reserved, so leave them alone. they're not yours to fill, bestie. respect the boundary 🫶
