okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — actual page name is mpi3mr_get_nvme_data_fmt(9) and it's literally one tiny function but she's important, ok?

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

mpi3mr_get_nvme_data_fmt — returns the NVMe data format 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int mpi3mr_get_nvme_data_fmt (struct
mpi3_nvme_encapsulated_request *nvme_encap_request );

like yes, that's the whole signature, she's not long but she is iconic 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• nvme_encap_request — the NVMe encapsulated MPI request 🫶 that's the one thing you gotta hand her.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does she actually do? This function returns the type of the data format specified in the user provided NVMe command inside the NVMe encapsulated request 💖 That's it, that's the vibe. iykyk.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

She gives you back the data format of the NVMe command (PRP/SGL etc) — like, PRP vs SGL type energy 🌈 no cap, that's the whole return value.
