libnvme_pat...read_sectors(9)

💖 libnvme_path_get_read_sectors(9) 💖

okay so this is a page straight out of the libnvme API manual, and it's genuinely one of the shorter ones — a little snack, a tiny morsel, but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

libnvme_path_get_read_sectors — get read I/O sectors 💫

like, that's it. that's the whole vibe. it gets you the read sectors. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned long long libnvme_path_get_read_sectors (struct libnvme_path *p
);

so you call it with one arg, and it hands you back an unsigned long long. yes bestie, that's a big number type, because sector counts get big and we're not about to overflow over here 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• p — a struct libnvme_path object 🦋 that's the path you're asking about. that's the whole assignment. just hand it your path struct and let it cook.

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the number of sectors read from the device, measured between two stat samples 📊

ngl that "between two stat samples" part is the key detail — it's not some all-time lifetime total, it's the delta between your two samples, so you actually have to sample twice to get anything meaningful out of it. it's giving "before and after" energy 🙈

lowkey important: this is a difference between samples, not a running lifetime counter. don't @ me, that's just what the page says 💀

---

so yeah, that's the whole page. short, sweet, does exactly one job and does it well 👑
