LIBNVMF_CONFIG_EMIT_INSTALL-LIBNVME3(2)

📦 version 3.2, in arch rolling

✨ libnvmf_config_emit_install(9) — from the libnvme API manual ✨

💖 NAME 💖

libnvmf_config_emit_install — write a configuration to disk. bestie, it's literally the “put the config file where it belongs” function 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int libnvmf_config_emit_install (struct libnvmf_config_emitter *emitter
, const char *file , bool force );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • emitter — configuration emitter. the main-character struct doing the emitting 🫶
  • file — destination configuration file, or NULL to use the default configuration file. yes, NULL is the “you pick for me” option ✨
  • force — overwrite an existing configuration if true. if it’s not true, existing config stays safe, no cap 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so here’s the tea 🍓: the default persona is written to the main configuration file. each named persona is written to a separate drop-in file. very organized, very demure.

the generated configuration is validated by reading it back through the standard parser before it is installed. like, it gets a little vibe check from the parser first 🔥

files are written atomically (temporary file followed by rename). so it’s giving “all or nothing,” iconic behavior fr fr.

if any step fails, no configuration is installed. periodt. 🎀

💅 RETURN 💅

  • 0 on success. slay ✅
  • -EEXIST if a configuration already exists and force is false. it’s already there, bestie 😭
  • -EINVAL if emitter is NULL. invalid argument, not the moment 💀
  • a negative errno value on other failures. other bad-vibe errors go here 🫶
