✨ nvme_get_property(2) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual 💖 you're in the funcs section now, section 2, and we're gonna talk about grabbing yourself a controller property like it's the last boba in the shop 🧋

🎀 NAME 🎀

nvme_get_property — get a controller property 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nvme_get_property (struct nvme_get_property_args *args );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• args — a struct nvme_get_propert_args argument structure. yes literally that, that's the spelling in the source, don't come for me 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So here's the tea 🍵 this one is an NVMe-over-Fabrics specific command, which means it is not applicable to PCIe. like, not even a little. don't try it, it's not giving PCIe energy 🙈

And the way these properties work? they align to the PCI MMIO controller registers 🎯 so if you know those registers, you already know the vibe. iykyk ✨

---

💜 RETURN 💜

You get the nvme command status if a response was received — peep enum nvme_status_field for the full rundown 👀

Otherwise? you get -1 and errno gets set. classic. not me getting a -1 😭
