NAME

       nvme_mi_admin_xfer - Raw admin transfer interface.

SYNOPSIS

       int   nvme_mi_admin_xfer   (nvme_mi_ctrl_t  ctrl  ,  struct  nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr  *admin_req  ,  size_t
       req_data_size  ,  struct  nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr  *admin_resp   ,   off_t   resp_data_offset   ,   size_t
       *resp_data_size );

ARGUMENTS

       ctrl        controller to send the admin command to

       admin_req   request data

       req_data_size
                   size of request data payload

       admin_resp  buffer for response data

       resp_data_offset
                   offset into request data to retrieve from controller

       resp_data_size
                   size of response data buffer, updated to received size

DESCRIPTION

       Performs  an arbitrary NVMe Admin command, using the provided request data, in admin_req. The size of the
       request data *payload* is specified in req_data_size - this does not include the standard  header  length
       (so a header-only request would have a size of 0).

       On  success,  response  data  is  stored  in admin_resp, which has an optional appended payload buffer of
       resp_data_size bytes. The actual payload transferred will be stored in resp_data_size. These sizes do not
       include the Admin request header, so 0 represents no payload.

       As with all Admin commands, we can request partial data  from  the  Admin  Response  payload,  offset  by
       resp_data_offset.

       See: struct nvme_mi_admin_req_hdr and struct nvme_mi_admin_resp_hdr.

RETURN

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