libnvme(9)

💅 NAME

enum nvme_dst_stc — this is literally the enum that tells you what action the Device Self-test command is about to take ✨ like, it's the vibe check for your self-test, no cap.

So if you've ever wondered "okay but what did the drive actually do when I poked it" — bestie, this enum is your answer 🫶

This page lives in the libnvme manual, section 9 (iykyk — kernel/API vibes 💜).

✨ SYNOPSIS

Here's the whole thing, character for character, because we do not paraphrase code in this house 😌

enum nvme_dst_stc {
    NVME_DST_STC_SHORT ,
    NVME_DST_STC_LONG ,
    NVME_DST_STC_HOST_INIT ,
    NVME_DST_STC_VS ,
    NVME_DST_STC_ABORT

};

Five constants, one enum, zero notes 🎀

🎀 Constants

okay so these are the five little icons of the self-test world 🌈 each one is a different answer to "what action got taken?"

• NVME_DST_STC_SHORT — start a short device self-test operation. the lil quick one, in and out, ✨ efficient queen ✨
• NVME_DST_STC_LONG — start an extended device self-test operation. the full send, the long haul, the main character energy 🔥
• NVME_DST_STC_HOST_INIT — start a Host-Initiated Refresh operation. that's the host doing the initiating, fr fr 🫶
• NVME_DST_STC_VS — start a vendor specific device self-test operation. your vendor, your rules, your lore 🙈
• NVME_DST_STC_ABORT — abort device self-test operation. not me hitting the brakes 💀 periodt.

ngl, that's genuinely the whole list — no hidden flags, no secret defaults, no environment variables hiding in the wings. just these five constants doing their thing. slay 💅
