NVME_IDENTIFY_ENDURANCE_GROUP_LIST(2)

✨ nvme_identify_endurance_group_list — the libnvme API manual 💖

okay bestie, so we're in the libnvme API manual and this one is literally called nvme_identify_endurance_group_list. yes the actual manual page header shortens it to nvme_identif...e_group_list(2) because apparently even man pages get truncated, slay. anyway.

🦋 NAME 🦋

nvme_identify_endurance_group_list — it's giving Endurance group list data ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_identify_endurance_group_list (int fd , __u16 endgrp_id ,
       struct nvme_id_endurance_group_list *list );

like, three args, one return value, no notes. iconique.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fd — the file descriptor of the nvme device, aka your little golden ticket to the hardware, no cap 💅
• endgrp_id — the endurance group identifier, a __u16, so it knows which endurance group we're talking about 🫶
• list — an array of endurance group identifiers, pointing at a struct nvme_id_endurance_group_list, which is where the good stuff lands ⭐

💜 RETURN 💜

so here's the tea: you get the nvme command status if a response was received — go peek at enum nvme_status_field for what all those values actually mean, iykyk.

and if not? you get -1 with errno set instead. 😭 literally the classic "something went sideways" combo, fr fr.

not me having to remind you that -1 + errno is a failure and the status field is a response — they are not the same vibe, bestie, do not conflate them 💀
