libnvme_reset_ctrl(9)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 libnvme_reset_ctrl — your fave little reset button, but make it a syscall

Okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about libnvme_reset_ctrl from the libnvme API manual, and honestly? It's giving "short but iconic." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_reset_ctrl — initiate a controller reset 🎀

Like, that's literally it. That's the whole job. She resets a controller. No cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int libnvme_reset_ctrl (struct libnvme_transport_handle *hdl );

One function, one handle, one int coming back at you. Clean. Minimal. Main character energy fr fr. 💜

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • hdl — the transport handle 🫶 that's the whole parameter list, bestie, we love an uncomplicated queen.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea, and it's a big one: this should only be sent to controller handles, not to namespaces. 🙈

Like yes, it's tempting to just yeet it at whatever handle is closest, but no ma'am. Controller handles only. Namespaces are not invited to this party. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • Returns 0 if a reset was initiated 🎉
  • Returns a negative error code otherwise 😭

So like, zero means slay, negative means something went sideways. Check it. Always check it. 🔥

⚠️ Friendly little vibe check: keep this one pointed at controller handles only — no namespace shenanigans. The manpage said it, not me. 👑

💖 Sign-off 💖

That's the whole thing, bestie — short page, immaculate energy. This gem comes to you from the libnvme API manual</>, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the very same name it's about: libnvme_reset_ctrl. Go forth and reset responsibly, mwah 💋🌈🧚
