About:
xnvme provides a unified C API for modern storage hardware, including NVMe over Fabrics and user-space I/O. It abstracts vendor-specific drivers to deliver high-performance, low-latency access across local and remote devices. The suite includes CLI tools for administration and benchmarking, simplifying complex storage operations.
Key Features:
  • Unified C API for NVMe, Fabrics, and legacy devices
  • User-space I/O via SPDK, libaio, and Windows IO_Uring
  • CLI tools for administration, verification, and benchmarking
  • Asynchronous I/O with zero-copy and multi-queue support
  • Pluggable backend architecture for custom transports
Use Cases:
  • High-performance storage applications requiring low latency
  • NVMe-oF target discovery and subsystem management
  • Benchmarking and profiling storage device performance
  • Cross-platform I/O offloading in user space
Alternatives:
  • libaio – Linux-only; xnvme offers cross-platform and NVMe-oF support
  • SPDK – Focuses on NVMe in user space; xnvme adds broader device and OS support
  • fio – Benchmarking tool; xnvme provides both CLI and a reusable library
