π nvme_get_features_host_behavior β bestie's guide to the libnvme API manual π
okay so like, this is a page from the libnvme API manual β you know, the nvme_get_fe...ost_behavior(2) one (yes the title is literally truncated like that, the manpage gods were feeling quirky). buckle up buttercup, we're getting a host behavior feature and we're gonna understand every crumb of it π
