nvme_get_lba_status(2)

💖 nvme_get_lba_status(2) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual — yes it's a section 2 page, yes it's giving kernel-adjacent main character energy, and yes we're gonna read it together 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_get_lba_status — Retrieve information on possibly unrecoverable LBAs

like. the whole vibe of this function is "hey, which LBAs are kinda sus and probably never coming back?" 🌸

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

int nvme_get_lba_status (struct nvme_get_lba_status_args *args );

one function, one pointer, no cap 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• args — this is your struct nvme_get_lba_status_args argument structure. she's the whole personality of the call, bestie, everything gets passed through her 💖

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the Get LBA Status command does exactly what the name says: it requests information about Potentially Unrecoverable LBAs. those are the blocks that are lowkey not doing so hot 😭

and for the actual action type descriptions? that's not here, bestie — refer to the specification. fr fr, the spec is where the lore lives 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

this one's important so listen up:

• if a response came back, you get the nvme command status (peep enum nvme_status_field for the full rundown of what each status means)
• otherwise you get -1, and errno gets set to tell you what went wrong 💀

so yeah, check errno whenever you see that -1, iykyk

---

🫶 reminder bestie: a -1 is never just a -1. go read your errno. she's always trying to tell you something.

---

that's the whole page, no skips, no missing bits. slay ✨

this lil rewrite of nvme_get_lba_status came from the libnvme API manual, and the original page was dated July 2026 — so yeah, fresh off the press, iconic behavior 💅💖 mwah, go check your LBAs bestie 🎀
