libnvme(2)

πŸ’– libnvme β€” bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so you're in the libnvme API manual (section 2, the syscall/API girlies section πŸ’…) and today's main character is an enum. yes. an enum. and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 🫢


✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_fdp_event_flags β€” the FDP Event Flags, honey 🌸

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum nvme_fdp_event_flags {
    NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_PIV ,
    NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_NSIDV ,
    NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_LV

};

like. look at her. three little flag babies, just vibing in a row πŸ¦‹


✨ CONSTANTS ✨

these are the actual members, no cap, one at a time:

  • NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_PIV β€” Placement Identifier Valid. that's it, that's the whole job bestie, it means the placement identifier is valid ✨
  • NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_NSIDV β€” Namespace Identifier Valid. yep, the namespace identifier is valid, iconic behaviour honestly πŸ‘‘
  • NVME_FDP_EVENT_F_LV β€” Location Valid. the location is valid, periodt πŸ’…

okay that's literally the whole page and I'm obsessed with how small and cute it is. no drama, no gotchas, just three flags being valid about things 🌈

reminder bestie: these are event flags, so the validness is the whole point. don't overthink her, she's doing great πŸŽ€

<cute sign-off incoming> so this lil slice of the libnvme API Manual (the enum nvme_fdp_event_flags page, libnvme(2)) is dated July 2026 β€” sending her off with a kiss, a πŸ“, and a "slay" fr fr πŸ’œπŸ§š
