+
+**Description**
+
+nvme_host_get_ids figures out which hostnqn/hostid is to be used.
+There are several sources where this information can be retrieved.
+
+The order is:
+
+ - Start with informartion from DMI or device-tree
+ - Override hostnqn and hostid from /etc/nvme files
+ - Override hostnqn or hostid with values from JSON
+   configuration file. The first host entry in the file is
+   considered the default host.
+ - Override hostnqn or hostid with values from the command line
+   (**hostnqn_arg**, **hostid_arg**).
+
+ If the IDs are still NULL after the lookup algorithm, the function
+ will generate random IDs.
+
+ The function also verifies that hostnqn and hostid matches. The Linux
+ NVMe implementation expects a 1:1 matching between the IDs.
+
+**Return**
+
+0 on success (**hostnqn** and **hostid** contain valid strings
+ which the caller needs to free), -1 otherwise and errno is set.
