libnvme_get_attr(9)

πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’… libnvme_get_attr(9) πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual β€” this one's a tiny little function but she's iconic in her own right. literally just "read a sysfs attribute," that's the whole vibe. no cap. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

libnvme_get_attr β€” read sysfs attribute πŸ“–βœ¨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

char * libnvme_get_attr (const char *d , const char *attr );

that's it. that's the whole signature. she's short and she knows it πŸ’…


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • d β€” the sysfs directory, bestie. like, the folder you're poking around in πŸ—‚οΈ
  • attr β€” the sysfs attribute name β€” the actual thing inside that directory you wanna read πŸ‘€

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back a newly allocated string holding the contents of attr β€” and the caller frees it, okay?? that's your job, not hers, don't leave her hanging 😭🫢

or you get NULL if the value is empty or something went wrong. so like… check before you use it, fr fr. empty value or error both land you in the same NULL situation β€” no distinction, that's just how she is πŸ’€

real talk: NULL is not a failure you can ignore. if you dereference it without checking, that's on you, not on her πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page, bestie β€” short, sweet, slays πŸ’–
