πŸ’… libnvme_ctrl_get_state β€” it's giving... libnvme API manual energy πŸŽ€

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and it's literally so short you could read it between two sips of your iced matcha πŸ“. We're talking about libnvme_ctrl_get_state β€” yes, that's the whole name, we love a descriptive icon ✨.


🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_ctrl_get_state β€” the running state of a controller, iykyk πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char * libnvme_ctrl_get_state (struct libnvme_ctrl *c );

That's it. That's the whole call. No cap, it's one line, and it slays πŸ’….


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • c β€” the controller instance πŸŽ›οΈ. Like, the actual controller you're curious about. Main character energy, honestly.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

It hands you back a string that indicates the running state of c 🌈. A string! Not an enum, not a struct, not some cursed pointer β€” just text you can print, log, or stare at lovingly πŸ˜­πŸ’–.

heads up bestie: the return type is const char *, so don't go mutating that string, okay? It's not yours to redecorate πŸ™ˆβœ¨.
