NVME_INIT_GET_LOG_FDP_EVENTS-LIBNVME3(2)

πŸ“¦ version 3.2, in arch rolling

πŸ’– nvme_init_get_log_fdp_events β€” a libnvme API manual moment πŸ’–

okay bestie, so like, this is a section 9 page from the libnvme API manual and the function is nvme_init_get_log_fdp_events β€” yes the actual page header truncates it to nvme_init_ge...g_fdp_events(9) which honestly is giving "my name is too long for the terminal" energy 😭 but we move.


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_init_get_log_fdp_events β€” Initialize passthru command for Flexible Data Placement Events. like that's literally the whole vibe, she sets up the passthru command so you can go get those FDP events πŸ”₯


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_get_log_fdp_events (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd ,
bool host_events , __u16 egid , __u64 lpo , void *log , __u32 len );

no return value, she's a void, she just does her thing and leaves πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • cmd β€” the passthru command you're gonna use. this is the lil container she's filling up 🫢
  • host_events β€” a bool that decides whose events you're reporting: host or controller. pick a side, bestie.
  • egid β€” Endurance group identifier, a __u16. iykyk 🧚
  • lpo β€” offset into the log page, a __u64. that's where we start reading, no cap.
  • log β€” the log page data buffer (void *), the actual destination for all that data πŸ“₯
  • len β€” length, in bytes, of the user buffer you provided to hold the log data. keep it exact or things get weird πŸ’€

πŸ’œ DESCRIPTION πŸ’œ

So what she actually does: she initializes the passthru command buffer for the Get Log command with LID value NVME_LOG_LID_FDP_EVENTS. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it immaculately πŸ‘‘

ngl the LID constant is the main character here β€” NVME_LOG_LID_FDP_EVENTS β€” literally the key to the whole thing πŸ”‘

k bye bestie, go log some events πŸ¦‹

✨ sign-off time ✨ this page comes from the libnvme API manual, dated October 2026, and its source/footer line is the very same nvme_init_ge...g_fdp_events(9) situation as the top β€” so yeah, we came full circle πŸ’–πŸŽ€πŸ’…
