LIBNVMF_CONTEXT_GET_PERSISTENT-LIBNVME3(2)

💖 libnvmf_context_get_persistent — libnvme API manual, section 9 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to section 9 of the libnvme API manual ✨ this one's a tiny lil function with main character energy and honestly? it's giving "short but iconic." let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

libnvmf_context_get_persistent — literally just gets the discovery controller persistence mode. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

const char * libnvmf_context_get_persistent (const struct
libnvmf_context *fctx );

look at her. one argument. zero drama. periodt 💅

---

🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

• fctx — the Fabrics context 🫶 like, the whole Fabrics situation, that's what you're handing her.

---

👑 RETURN 👑

so here's what she gives you back, and it's genuinely one of three little strings (or a whole NULL, which we'll get to, don't worry 💜):

• "no" — if it was explicitly configured that way
• "auto" — if it was explicitly configured that way
• "force" — if it was explicitly configured that way

and then there's the plot twist:

• NULL — returned if it wasn't explicitly configured 😭 and bestie, listen, this is the important part: that NULL behaves the same as "no" when it's applied to a live connection, or if fctx is NULL.

so like… no cap, NULL is lowkey just "no" in a trench coat. 🙈 but fr fr, if you're checking the return value yourself, handle it properly — those are the three strings, or NULL, exactly as documented. ⭐

---

💀 a lil note on the nulls 💀

if fctx is NULL, you don't get a crash course in chaos — you get the same behaviour as "no". the manpage says it, so I'm saying it. 🔥

---

🌈 that's the whole page, bestie 🌈

genuinely one of the shortest manpages you'll ever read and honestly? she ate. short, useful, no filler. iykyk 🍓

this little masterpiece lives in the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026 — so yeah, mark your calendar, she's timeless 🎀✨🌸💖

slay responsibly and always check your return values 💅
