LIBNVME_PATH_GET_COMMAND_RETRY_COUNT-LIBNVME3(2)

💅 NAME 💅

libnvme_path_get_command_retry_count — okay so bestie, this one literally just gets command_retry_count 🎀

Yes that's the whole vibe. It's a getter. It gets the thing. Iconic behaviour honestly ✨

(This is from the libnvme API manual, in case you were wondering where this little cutie lives 👑)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int libnvme_path_get_command_retry_count (const struct libnvme_path *p ,
long *command_retry_count , long dflt );

Not me pointing out that this is a function signature and you should copy it exactly, no cap 💀 It returns an int, takes a const struct libnvme_path * called p, a long * called command_retry_count, and a long called dflt. Three args. That's it. Slay 🌸

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• p — the struct libnvme_path instance you're querying, aka the main character here 👑 This is the thing you're asking about.
• command_retry_count — a pointer to where the value gets stored on success 🎀 So like, on the happy path, the answer lands here. That's the whole point, iykyk.
• dflt — the value that gets stored in command_retry_count on failure 🙈 Lowkey the safety net. When things don't work out, this is what you get instead. Bestie fallback fr fr.

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success ⭐ — we love a clean zero, it's giving everything worked, no notes.
• -ENOENT if the attribute does not exist 😭 — literally the "there's nothing here" error. The attribute just isn't a thing. Gone. Missing.
• or a negative errno on failure 💀 — some other bad vibes happened, and the return value tells you which, in the classic negative-errno style.

Heads up bestie: don't just check for -ENOENT and call it a day — the manpage says or a negative errno on failure, so there's a whole spectrum of failure returns, not just the one ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

No SEE ALSO section in this one, so there's nothing to point you at — go read the rest of the libnvme API manual if you're nosy, but that's me being chatty, not the page 👀

Okay that's the entire page, bestie 💜 It's a tiny one — a getter for command_retry_count, three arguments, three possible return outcomes. Short and sweet, and honestly? Ate. 🍓

This has been the libnvme API manual, and the date on this lil page is October 2026 🎀 Mwah, go forth and retry your commands 💅✨
