✨ NAME ✨

nvme_mi_admin_set_features_power_mgmt β€” Set power management feature πŸ’…

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual πŸŽ€ this one's a little function that sets the power management feature, and honestly? it's giving "tiny function, big responsibilities" energy. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_mi_admin_set_features_power_mgmt (nvme_mi_ctrl_t ctrl , __u8 ps
, __u8 wh , bool save , __u32 *result );

like yes, it's a mouthful of a name, but the way that it just works? obsessed πŸ’–


πŸ’« ARGUMENTS πŸ’«

  • ctrl β€” the Controller to send command to. this is your main character, the one you're talking to 🫢
  • ps β€” Power State. an __u8, so keep it smol and cute ✨
  • wh β€” Workload Hint. also an __u8, also here to help 🌸
  • save β€” a bool, and its whole deal is Save value across power states πŸ‘‘ so if you want it to stick around, say yes fr fr
  • result β€” a __u32 * and The feature data is returned in this argument πŸ“ she's a pointer, she's writing back to you, she's literally the messenger

πŸ¦‹ RETURN πŸ¦‹

so here's the tea: you get the nvme command status if a response was received β€” and yes, you should go peek at enum nvme_status_field for what those statuses actually mean, iykyk πŸ‘€

but if no response came back at all? it returns -1 with errno set instead. so like, check your errno, bestie, don't just stare at the -1 and hope for the best 😭

no cap: -1 means the whole thing fell through and errno is holding the receipts. read it. πŸ’€

and that's the whole page, periodt 🌈⭐
