NAME

       nvme_mi_admin_identify_partial  -  Perform an Admin identify command, and retrieve partial
       response data.

SYNOPSIS

       int nvme_mi_admin_identify_partial (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , struct nvme_identify_args  *args
       , off_t offset , size_t size );

ARGUMENTS

       ctrl        Controller to process identify command

       args        Identify command arguments

       offset      offset of identify data to retrieve from response

       size        size of identify data to return

DESCRIPTION

       Perform  an  Identify  command, using the Identify command parameters in args.  The offset
       and size arguments allow the caller to retrieve part of the identify response. See NVMe-MI
       section 6.2 for the semantics (and some handy diagrams) of the offset & size parameters.

       Will  return  an  error  if  the length of the response data (from the controller) did not
       match size.

       Unless you're performing a vendor-unique identify command, You'll probably want to use one
       of  the  identify  helpers  (nvme_mi_admin_identify,  nvme_mi_admin_identify_cns_nsid,  or
       nvme_mi_admin_identify_<type>) instead of this. If the type of your  identify  command  is
       standardized but not yet supported by libnvme-mi, please contact the maintainers.

       See: struct nvme_identify_args

RETURN

       The nvme command status if a response was received (see enum nvme_status_field) or -1 with
       errno set otherwise.
