Hi, I'm maintaining nvme-cli and working on the next major version release, 3.0. The original plan was just to clean up and refactor the library APIs, which included introducing a transport abstraction layer to make the nvme-cli project portable. This was done primarily to support the Management Interface specification (out-of-band communication with an NVMe controller) as a first-class citizen rather than a bolt-on addition to the existing library interface. And immediately Windows port happened... I was trying to counterbalance this by figuring out how difficult it would be to natively support FreeBSD. I've fixed all the build issues I found and created a dummy implementation. I don't have the time to fully implement the missing pieces, so I'm asking here (sorry if this is the wrong place) if anyone wants to help get it over the line? https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli/pull/3745 Cheers, Daniel
