libnvme(9)

💜 NAME 💜

okay bestie, so <pink>libnvme(9)</pink> — that's the API Manual, hi — is here to introduce you to enum nvme_ana_state, which is literally the ANA Group Descriptor - Asymmetric Namespace Access State. yes that's a mouthful, no I will not be shortening it, it's giving official. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole vibe, character for character, don't @ me:

enum nvme_ana_state {
    NVME_ANA_STATE_OPTIMIZED ,
    NVME_ANA_STATE_NONOPTIMIZED ,
    NVME_ANA_STATE_INACCESSIBLE ,
    NVME_ANA_STATE_PERSISTENT_LOSS ,
    NVME_ANA_STATE_CHANGE

};

like, five constants, that's the whole enum, that's the post. 🦋

🌸 Constants 🌸

girl, these are the five states, and each one is a whole mood:

• NVME_ANA_STATE_OPTIMIZED — ANA Optimized state ✨ the main character state, everything's slaying.
• NVME_ANA_STATE_NONOPTIMIZED — ANA Non-Optimized state — it works, but lowkey it's not thriving.
• NVME_ANA_STATE_INACCESSIBLE — ANA Inaccessible state 💀 can't get to it rn, sorry bestie.
• NVME_ANA_STATE_PERSISTENT_LOSS — ANA Persistent Loss state 😭 like it's gone gone, not just ghosting.
• NVME_ANA_STATE_CHANGE — ANA Change state 🔥 it's transitioning, give it a sec.

no cap, that's the entire list — five states, zero filler, we love a concise icon. 👑
