💖 nvme_mi_admin_get_log_smart(2) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual ✨ this one's a lil function from the libnvme crew and she is so useful, trust.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_mi_admin_get_log_smart — retrieve nvme smart log 🧠✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int nvme_mi_admin_get_log_smart (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , __u32 nsid , bool
rae , struct nvme_smart_log *smart_log );

---

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• ctrl — the controller you wanna query, bestie 🎮
• nsid — optional namespace identifier (yes bb, it's optional, we love options)
• rae — retain asynchronous events 👀
• smart_log — a user address to store the smart log in 🏠📋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this log page is literally the SMART and general health info, like the vibe check of your controller's whole existence 💫

the tea is: this info lives over the life of the controller and it stays put across power cycles — she does not forget, no cap 🔋✨

if you wanna request the controller log page, the namespace identifier you specify is FFFFFFFFh 📌

the controller may also support requesting the log page on a per namespace basis, and that's indicated by bit 0 of the LPA field in the Identify Controller data structure 👑 (iykyk)

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

you get back the nvme command status if a response was received (peep enum nvme_status_field for that) 🔍

or otherwise? -1 with errno set 😭 like okay noted, we move.

fr fr, check that errno before you spiral, bestie 🙈

---

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅✨

signing off from the libnvme API manual, July 2026 — stay iconic, go get that smart log, mwah 🫶💖🌈
