💅 libnvme_status_to_errno(9) — the libnvme API manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so real talk, this page is from the libnvme API manual, and the function is libnvme_status_to_errno — literally the glow-up artist that turns an nvme return status into an errno. she's giving translator energy and honestly? iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

libnvme_status_to_errno — converts nvme return status to errno 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

__u8 libnvme_status_to_errno (int status , bool fabrics );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• status — the return status from an nvme passthrough command. yeah, that one. hand it over, she'll deal 💖
• fabrics — set it to true if status is to a fabrics target. if it's not a fabrics target, false is your girl. no cap 👑

✨ RETURN ✨

she gives you back an errno representing the nvme status — but only if it's an nvme status field, iykyk. 🔥 and if status is < 0, it comes back unchanged, because errno is already set at that point. no double-dipping, periodt 💅

ngl the < 0 bit is the part people forget: she's not re-interpreting anything there, errno already did its thing 🙈

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and absolutely ate 🌸
