NVME_DIRECTIVE_SEND_ID_ENDIR(2)

πŸ’« nvme_directive_send_id_endir β€” the libnvme API manual, but make it cute

okay so bestie, welcome to the nvme_directive_send_id_endir(2) page from the libnvme API manual ✨ this is the one that handles Directive Send Enable Directive and honestly? she's serving niche-but-essential. let's get into it 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_directive_send_id_endir β€” Directive Send Enable Directive πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_directive_send_id_endir (int fd , __u32 nsid , bool endir ,
       enum nvme_directive_dtype dtype , struct nvme_id_directives *id );

like. five whole arguments. she's a little extra but she's worth it 😭


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fd β€” the File descriptor of the nvme device. your lil entry point, your backstage pass, the way in πŸ‘‘
  • nsid β€” the Namespace Identifier. which namespace are we talking to, bestie? this one. 🌈
  • endir β€” Enable Directive. this is the toggle, the vibe switch, the yes/no of it all πŸ’–
  • dtype β€” Directive Type. enum nvme_directive_dtype, so pick your type, don't be shy ⭐
  • id β€” Pointer to structure nvme_id_directives. a pointer, so she points at the goods πŸ“

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

so here's what you get back:

  • the nvme command status if a response was received (peep enum nvme_status_field for the whole catalogue of statuses) πŸ‘€
  • or -1 with errno set otherwise. classic. no response, no status, just -1 and a lil errno to explain herself πŸ’€
lowkey important: -1 means check errno β€” don't just stare at it, bestie, go read the errno πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page, no cap. every flag, every arg, every return path β€” all present and accounted for 🧚

this was libnvme API manual, dated July 2026 β€” mwah, iconic, periodt πŸ’œπŸ¦‹
