LIBNVME_EXEC_ADMIN_PASSTHRU-LIBNVME3(2)

💅 libnvme_exec_admin_passthru — bestie's guide to the libnvme API manual ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the libnvme API manual, right, and you just need to yeet one admin command at the kernel and wait for the answer like a good little synchronous icon. that's this function. no cap, she's the whole package 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_exec_admin_passthru — submit an admin passthru command and wait 🫶

like, you hand her a command, she sends it, and she waits. main character energy fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int libnvme_exec_admin_passthru (struct libnvme_transport_handle *hdl ,
struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd );

that's the whole vibe check right there 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hdl — your transport handle 🚗 literally the thing that carries your command to where it's going.
• cmd — the nvme admin command to send 📨 the actual message. the payload. the moment.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Synchronous command execution. ⏳

that's it, that's the tea: she runs it, and she waits for it. no async shenanigans, no "i'll ping you later", none of that. you get your answer before she lets you move on 😌 periodt.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• the nvme command status if a response was received — glow-up achieved, check enum nvme_status_field for the deets 👑
• or a negative error code otherwise 💀 (iykyk, that's the "it didn't work" branch)

---

⚠️ real talk: if you get a negative error code back, no response came through at all, so don't go reading it like it's a status field, bestie 🙈
