NVME_MI_ADMIN_GET_LOG_ERROR(2)

πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

nvme_mi_admin_get_log_error β€” bestie, this is the one that goes and retrieves the nvme error log for you 🫢

Like. It's literally in the libnvme API manual. She's an icon, she's a function, she has ✨four✨ arguments, and we're gonna go through every single one. No cap.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_mi_admin_get_log_error (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , unsigned int
nr_entries , bool rae , struct nvme_error_log_page *err_log );

Okay so she takes ctrl, nr_entries, rae, and err_log, and she hands you back an int. That's the whole vibe. Periodt. πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • ctrl β€” the Controller you're querying, aka the one you're being nosy about πŸ”
  • nr_entries β€” how many error log entries you actually allocated. You gotta do the math yourself, she's not gonna count for you fr fr
  • rae β€” Retain asynchronous events. Yes ma'am, hold onto those 🫰
  • err_log β€” your array of error logs, sized to 'entries'. You bring the container, she brings the lore πŸ“¦

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So this log page is out here describing extended error information for a command that completed with error 😭 β€” OR, plot twist, it may report an error that is not specific to a particular command. It's giving "the problem is bigger than one command, sweety." The way that it just. tells you things. Obsessed.


⭐ RETURN ⭐

She gives you the nvme command status if a response was received β€” check enum nvme_status_field for the deets, iykyk β€” or she hits you with -1 with errno set otherwise. πŸ’€ Not the -1, but okay, that's just how it is.


And that's the whole page, bestie! This was the libnvme API manual, dropping July 2026 β€” go off, write some good error-log-reading code, and remember: read your errno. Slay. πŸ’œβœ¨
