💅 libnvme(9) — API Manual

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual ✨ this one's a struct page, and it's a little niche but honestly kind of iconic once you get it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct tcg_l0_data_removal — the Data Removal Mechanism feature, and it lives at feature code 0x0404 💫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, literally copied character-for-character so you can trust it 💖

struct tcg_l0_data_removal {
    __u8 rsvd0;
    __u8 flags;
    __u8 removal_mechanism;
    __u8 format;
    __be16 time_mechanism_bit0;
    __be16 time_mechanism_bit1;
    __be16 time_mechanism_bit2;
    __u8 rsvd10[4];
    __be16 time_mechanism_bit5;
    __u8 rsvd16[16];
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

bestie there are exactly ten things in here, no skipping, we're doing all of them 🍓

• rsvd0 — reserved 🫥 like it's just sitting there, don't touch it
• flags — the flags, see enum tcg_l0_data_removal_flags 🚩
• removal_mechanism — the supported mechanisms, see enum tcg_l0_data_removal_mechanism 🧹
• format — the data removal time format ⏱️
• time_mechanism_bit0 — data removal time for mechanism bit 0 🕐
• time_mechanism_bit1 — data removal time for mechanism bit 1 🕑
• time_mechanism_bit2 — data removal time for mechanism bit 2 🕒
• rsvd10 — reserved 🙈 (an array of 4, but still reserved, so hands off)
• time_mechanism_bit5 — data removal time for mechanism bit 5 🕔
• rsvd16 — reserved 💀 (16 bytes of reserved, which is a lot of reserved, ngl)

💡 notice the time mechanism bits jump from 0, 1, 2 straight to 5? that's what the original says, so that's what you get — no inventing bit 3 and bit 4 over here, not on my watch 👑

🌈 Description 🌈

this struct is straight out of TCG Storage Opal SSC 2.02, section 3.1.1.6 📖 periodt. that's the whole description, it's giving "confident and brief" and honestly? ate 💅

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

hmm, the original page doesn't list any SEE ALSO references, so there's literally nothing to point you at — we're just vibing with the struct itself 🧚

and that's the page! 🌟 this gem came from the API Manual for libnvme(9), dated October 2026, and the star of the show is struct tcg_l0_data_removal 💜 mwah, ily, go read a real manpage now 😭👑
