nvme_get_lo...istent_event(2)

💖 nvme_get_log_persistent_event 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual — yes it's a real manual page, yes it's for grown-up kernel people, and yes we're gonna make it cute anyway. sit down, hydrate, let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_get_log_persistent_event — Retrieve Persistent Event Log 🌸

it's giving "gimme the receipts, but the receipts are persistent." literally what it says on the tin, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_get_log_persistent_event (int fd , enum nvme_pevent_log_action
action , __u32 size , void *pevent_log );

look at that signature. four args, one int coming back. she's tidy, she's specific, she knows what she wants 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• fd — the file descriptor of the nvme device. yes, that fd. the little integer that says "this drive right here, bestie." 🎀
• action — the action the controller should take while it's processing this command. so you're not just reading, you're telling the controller how to behave during the read. main character energy, honestly. 👑
• size — the size of pevent_log. how much room are we giving her? you decide. 📏
• pevent_log — the user address to store the persistent event log. this is where the good stuff lands. your buffer, your responsibility, your moment. ✨

---

✨ RETURN ✨

okay so hear me out: if a response came back, you get the nvme command status (peep enum nvme_status_field if you wanna know the deets, iykyk). 👀

and if it didn't go how we wanted? you get -1, with errno set. literally the classic. so please, for the love of everything, check your errno — she's always trying to tell you something 😭

---

real talk bestie: check that return value. -1 plus errno is your only heads-up that something went sideways, and the universe does not send a follow-up text. 💀

🦋 a lil' sign-off 🦋

this page is part of the libnvme API manual, and it was dated July 2026 — so yeah, future-dated, iconic, ahead of her time, as always. 💅✨

now go read that persistent event log, you absolute legend. proud of you. mwah. 💖🌈
