nvme_dump_tree(2)

πŸ’– nvme_dump_tree β€” bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so. this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and it's about nvme_dump_tree(2) β€” the little function that shows you what's actually going on inside your NVMe root object. no cap, it's a tiny one but it's lowkey iconic. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_dump_tree β€” dump the internal object tree 🌳

like, literally. it dumps it. the whole tree. the internal object tree. that's the vibe.


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

int nvme_dump_tree (nvme_root_t r );

yes bestie that's the whole signature, she's short and she serves πŸ’…


🧚 ARGUMENTS 🧚

  • r β€” an nvme_root_t object. that's the root of the whole tree, the main character of this function ngl πŸ‘‘

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: nvme_dump_tree prints the internal object tree in JSON format to stdout. ✨

that's it. that's the whole thing. it takes everything hanging off that nvme_root_t and spills it out as JSON straight to your standard output. it's giving "let me show you my whole family tree, structured, pretty, parseable." 🫢

no files written, no config needed, just JSON on the stdout, fr fr. πŸ“


πŸ’œ RETURN πŸ’œ

  • 0 on success πŸ₯³
  • -1 on failure 😭

so like, check the return value bestie, don't just assume it ate. πŸ’€


reminder: the JSON goes to stdout, so if you're piping it somewhere, that's on you to handle. no drama, just facts. πŸ’«

okay that's the whole page, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ‘‘πŸ’…
