libnvme_opc...us_to_string(9)

✨ libnvme_opcode_status_to_string ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual 🫶 this one's a lil function that turns your status code into something you can actually read.

---

💖 NAME 💖

libnvme_opcode_status_to_string — literally just returns the nvme opcode status string. that's the whole gig ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * libnvme_opcode_status_to_string (int status , bool admin ,
       __u8 opcode );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• status — the return status from an nvme passthrough command 👀 this is the thing you're asking about
• admin — set to true if it's an admin command, bestie. yes that matters 💅
• opcode — the opcode from an nvme passthrough command, copy it exactly, no vibes-based guessing 🙈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back the nvme opcode status string if it's an nvme status field — or, if status is < 0, you get a standard errno string instead. both are iconic, just different flavors 🍓

no cap, watch out for that < 0 case — that's your signal you're in errno territory and not looking at an nvme status field at all 💀

---

that's it, that's the page 🌈 go forth and decode those statuses, main character 💜

— with love, from the libnvme API manual, October 2026 🎀✨
