nvme_get_path_attr(2)

✨ nvme_get_path_attr(2) ✨

okay bestie, quick vibe check: this is a page from the libnvme API manual, and today's main character is nvme_get_path_attr πŸŽ€


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

nvme_get_path_attr β€” read a path sysfs attribute. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

char * nvme_get_path_attr (nvme_path_t p , const char *attr );

like… look at her. two args, one string back. clean. iconic. no notes πŸ‘‘


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • p β€” your nvme_path_t object. the actual path bestie we're snooping on πŸ”
  • attr β€” the sysfs attribute name. literally just the name of the thing you wanna read, ngl πŸ“›

⭐ RETURN ⭐

she hands you back a char * string with the contents of attr. that's the good ending 🫢

but listen β€” if the value is empty, or if something went wrong, you get NULL instead. and how do you know an error happened? a non-zero errno code, that's how. so always check your errno, no cap 😭

lowkey important: NULL means either "empty value" or "error" β€” so don't assume, go read errno to find out which one you're dealing with πŸ™ˆ

that's the whole page, you ate it πŸ’– this was nvme_get_path_attr from the libnvme API manual, dated July 2026, and the manual name up top is nvme_get_path_attr β€” literally the same as the function, she's self-titled, main character energy fr fr 🌈✨ bye bestie, go read some sysfs πŸŽ€πŸ’œ
