nvme_get_log_fdp_events(2)

✨ nvme_get_log_fdp_events ✨

okay bestie, we're in the libnvme API manual, section 2, and today's main character is nvme_get_log_fdp_events — the lil function that goes and gets your Flexible Data Placement events 🦋

think of it as a lil detective that knocks on the drive's door and is like "hey girl, what FDP stuff has been happening" and the drive just tells you 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_get_log_fdp_events (int fd , __u16 egid , bool host_events ,
       __u32 offset , __u32 len , void *log );

that's the whole thing, no cap. returns an int, takes six args, iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• fd — File descriptor of nvme device. this is your lil ticket into the drive, the VIP pass, the "let me in" 🫶
• egid — Endurance group identifier. which endurance group we're talking to bestie, they've all got their own numbers and their own drama 💜
• host_events — Whether to report host or controller events. pick your side: do you wanna hear about what host did or what the controller did 👑 it's giving he said / she said but for storage events
• offset — Offset into log page. when the log page is huge and you don't wanna read the whole thing (same), you start from here 🌈
• len — Length (in bytes) of provided user buffer to hold the log data. how much room you're giving it, fr fr. gotta make sure your buffer is big enough or it's gonna be a whole situation 😭
• log — Log page data buffer. the lil bucket where the log data gets dumped so you can go read it later 🍓

---

ngl bestie, that buffer is yours — you allocated it, you set the len, so size it right. the drive is just filling in the blanks ✨

(the original page doesn't ship any SEE ALSO refs, so we're keeping the vibe pure — no extra cross-links, no invented lore, just this function and its six arguments 🧚)

that's the whole page, periodt. this gem comes from the libnvme API manual and the date on it is July 2026 — so take that timestamp, put it in your notes app, and slay your FDP event queries 💅💖✨
