✨ nvme_get_features_sanitize ✨

okay bestie, listen up 💖 this is the manual page for nvme_get_features_sanitize(2) from the libnvme API manual, and yes it's a real one, and yes it's about to be your new fave little syscall-adjacent king 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_get_features_sanitize — Get sanitize feature 🧼✨

that's it. that's the whole vibe. we're fetching the sanitize feature, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nvme_get_features_sanitize (int fd , enum nvme_get_features_sel sel
, __u32 *result );

she takes three things, she gives you an int back, and honestly? iconic behavior 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fd — the file descriptor of your nvme device 🫶 like, your lil handle to the hardware. without it we're just standing outside the club fr.
• sel — which type of attribute you want back. this one's the choose your own adventure parameter, and the menu lives in enum nvme_get_features_sel 📋 go look at it, i'll wait.
• result — a pointer to a __u32, and it gets filled with the command completion result from CQE dword0 💀 yes, dword0, that's genuinely what it's called, i don't make the rules. that's where the answer shows up.

---

💜 RETURN 💜

so here's what you get back, and it's giving "all or nothing":

• if a response actually came through, you get the nvme command status — peep enum nvme_status_field for the whole list of what those statuses mean 👀
• otherwise? you get -1, and errno is set. so please, please check errno when that happens, bestie, do not just stare at the -1 like it betrayed you 😭

---

okay real talk for one sec: this returns status, not vibes. if you get -1, that's not a mystery, that's an error with an errno attached. go read it. slay responsibly 🫡

---

and that's the whole page, no filler, no fluff, every single detail accounted for ⭐
