💅 libnvme_scan_ns_head_paths(9) 💅

okay bestie so this one lives in the libnvme API manual, and it's genuinely one of the cutest little scanner functions out there. it's called libnvme_scan_ns_head_paths and it's giving "go find me all the paths for this namespace head" energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvme_scan_ns_head_paths — scan for namespace paths 🦋

like, that's literally the whole vibe. it scans. it finds namespace paths. iconic.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int libnvme_scan_ns_head_paths (struct libnvme_ns_head *head , struct
dirent ***paths );

no cap, that's the whole signature. look at her go 💅

🍓 ARGUMENTS 🍓

  • head — the namespace head node you wanna scan. yes, that one. she's the main character here 👑
  • paths — a pointer to an array of dirents. this is where the results go, so like… make sure it's ready to receive 🫶

⭐ RETURN ⭐

on a good day she hands you back the number of entries in ents — slay 🌈

and if things go sideways? you get a negative error code. not the vibe, but at least it's honest 😭

fr fr, check that return value. negative means something went wrong and you should probably not just keep going like nothing happened 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie — no hidden lore, no secret flags, just a tiny scanner doing her thing ✨

this has been the libnvme API manual, October 2026 edition — libnvme_scan_ns_head_paths(9), signing off 🎀💖 see u in the next one!!
