📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

💅 libnvme_status_to_string(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual — yes that's the whole manual name, we're being official today 🎀 — and this page is literally just about one tiny lil function that turns your nvme status into something you can actually read. no cap, it's giving "translator for your terminal" energy ✨

✨ NAME ✨

libnvme_status_to_string — returns a string describing an nvme return status 💖

like, you hand it a status, it hands you back words. iconic behavior fr fr.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * libnvme_status_to_string (int status , bool fabrics );

that's it. two args, one string back. we stay simple 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • status — the return status from an nvme passthrough command. yeah, that status. the one you've been squinting at 😭
  • fabrics — set this to true if status is to a fabrics target. lowkey important, don't skip it 🙈

💜 RETURN 💜

here's the tea ☕ — you get back a string representation of the nvme status if it's an nvme status field, or a standard errno string if status is < 0. either way you're walking away with a string, bestie, no NULL crumbs 💅

ngl, read that < 0 part again. negative status = errno town, not nvme status town. the more you know 🌈

👑 sign-off 👑

that's the whole page, babe — short and slay. this gem is from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026, and it's titled libnvme_status_to_string(9) in case anyone asks (they will, iykyk). go forth and stringify 🧚💖⭐
