💅 libnvme(9) — API Manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme(9) page 💖 this one's a tiny little enum — not a whole app, not a whole daemon, just four constants that tell you where in a field a parameter error actually happened. short, sweet, and honestly kind of iconic in how specific it is. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nvme_err_pel — the Parameter error location field, no cap. it's the thing that tells you which byte and which bit was being rude ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole shape of it, copied exactly, character for character, so don't come for me:

enum nvme_err_pel {
    NVME_ERR_PEL_BYTE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_ERR_PEL_BYTE_MASK ,
    NVME_ERR_PEL_BIT_SHIFT ,
    NVME_ERR_PEL_BIT_MASK

};

that's it. that's the enum. four constants, living their best lives 🦋

🎀 Constants 🎀

the group-chat roll call, one by one, and obviously i'm not skipping anybody:

• NVME_ERR_PEL_BYTE_SHIFT — the byte location shift. it's giving "how many places do i slide over to find the byte" 💫
• NVME_ERR_PEL_BYTE_MASK — the byte mask for error location. put this on and you'll only see the byte part, main character energy fr 🔥
• NVME_ERR_PEL_BIT_SHIFT — the bit location shift. same vibe as the byte one but, you know, finer. bit-level. detail-oriented queen 💅
• NVME_ERR_PEL_BIT_MASK — the bit mask for error location. the last one, the little one, the one that narrows it all the way down to a single bit 🐛

ngl these four are a matching set — two shifts and two masks — so if you're pulling an error location apart, you're using all of them together like a coordinated outfit. slay 🌈

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it up 👑

this lil masterpiece is from the libnvme(9) API Manual, dated October 2026, and the page itself is enum nvme_err_pel 🫶 go forth and locate those parameters 💜
