🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

Okay bestie, listen: this one takes literally zero arguments. No params, no options, nothing. It just shows up and does its thing 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the whole vibe here is that nvmf_hostid_from_file goes and retrieves the host identifier from the config file that lives at $SYSCONFDIR/nvme/. And in case you were wondering what $SYSCONFDIR even is — it's usually /etc. Like, that's its whole main character moment. No cap 🌈

---

💜 RETURN 💜

It hands you back the host identifier, or NULL if it didn't work out 😭. And heads up: if it did find one, you are the one responsible for freeing that string. Not it. You. Free it yourself, periodt 🎀
