ORG.NVMEXPRESS.STAF(5)

πŸ’– org.nvmexpress.staf β€” DBus interface πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the section 5 manual page for org.nvmexpress.staf. It's a DBus interface. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

org.nvmexpress.staf β€” DBus interface. Short. Iconic. No notes. πŸ’…


πŸ“ž METHODS πŸ“ž

so there are three methods on this interface and here they are, exactly as written, no cap:

list_controllers  (IN  b      detailed,
                   OUT aa{ss} controller_list);
get_log_pages     (IN  s      transport,
                   IN  s      traddr,
                   IN  s      trsvcid,
                   IN  s      subsysnqn,
                   IN  s      host_traddr,
                   IN  s      host_iface,
                   IN  s      host_nqn,
                   OUT aa{ss} log_pages);
get_all_log_pages (IN  b      detailed,
                   OUT s      log_pages_json);

that's it, that's the list. three methods, all accounted for. 🫢


🚨 SIGNALS 🚨

and here are the signals, same energy, same exact text:

log_pages_changed (s transport,
                   s traddr,
                   s trsvcid,
                   s subsysnqn,
                   s host_traddr,
                   s host_iface,
                   s host_nqn,
                   s device);
dc_removed        ();

two signals. one has a whole glow-up of parameters, the other is just dc_removed () living its minimal life. ✨


πŸ“– DESCRIPTION πŸ“–

the DESCRIPTION section is… empty. Like, zero words. The heading is there and then it just moves on to METHOD DETAILS. It's giving mysterious. It's giving no thoughts, head empty. We respect it. πŸ«ΆπŸ’€


πŸ” METHOD DETAILS πŸ”

πŸŽ€ The list_controllers() method πŸŽ€

list_controllers (IN  b      detailed,
                  OUT aa{ss} controller_list);
  • IN b detailed β€” no description on the page, bestie. The manpage leaves it a total mystery. πŸ™ˆ
  • OUT aa{ss} controller_list β€” also no description on the page. We just know it's an aa{ss} and we move on. periodt.

πŸ’… The get_log_pages() method πŸ’…

get_log_pages (IN  s      transport,
               IN  s      traddr,
               IN  s      trsvcid,
               IN  s      subsysnqn,
               IN  s      host_traddr,
               IN  s      host_iface,
               IN  s      host_nqn,
               OUT aa{ss} log_pages);
  • IN s transport β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s traddr β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s trsvcid β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s subsysnqn β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s host_traddr β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s host_iface β€” no description on the page.
  • IN s host_nqn β€” no description on the page.
  • OUT aa{ss} log_pages β€” no description on the page.

seven INs and one OUT, all sitting there with zero elaboration. it's giving strong silent type. 😭

✨ The get_all_log_pages() method ✨

get_all_log_pages (IN  b detailed,
                   OUT s log_pages_json);
  • IN b detailed β€” no description on the page.
  • OUT s log_pages_json β€” no description on the page.

and that's the whole method. two lines. absolutely ate. πŸ”₯


πŸ“‘ SIGNAL DETAILS πŸ“‘

πŸ¦‹ The log_pages_changed" signal" πŸ¦‹

(yes the original heading has those quote marks around signal, and yes we are keeping them, character for character, no cap)

log_pages_changed (s transport,
                   s traddr,
                   s trsvcid,
                   s subsysnqn,
                   s host_traddr,
                   s host_iface,
                   s host_nqn,
                   s device);
  • s transport β€” no description on the page.
  • s traddr β€” no description on the page.
  • s trsvcid β€” no description on the page.
  • s subsysnqn β€” no description on the page.
  • s host_traddr β€” no description on the page.
  • s host_iface β€” no description on the page.
  • s host_nqn β€” no description on the page.
  • s device β€” no description on the page.

eight parameters, zero explanations. the manpage said figure it out. πŸ’€

πŸ’€ The dc_removed" signal" πŸ’€

dc_removed ();

that's literally it. no parameters. no description on the page. just a name, two parentheses, and a semicolon. a whole minimalist moment. periodt. πŸŽ€


and that's the page, bestie! this one comes from nvme-stas 2.4.1, and yep, it's the ORG.NVMEXPRESS.STAF(5) page. read it, love it, use it responsibly. bye bestie! πŸ’–πŸ¦‹βœ¨
