nvme_mi_aem_process(9)

💖 nvme_mi_aem_process 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual — this one's about nvme_mi_aem_process, and it's genuinely not that deep, i promise. it's a little function that goes and processes AEM on the endpoint you hand it. slay. let's get into it 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

nvme_mi_aem_process — Process AEM on the provided endpoint

like… that's it. that's the whole vibe. AEM? processed. endpoint? provided. iconic behavior 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_mi_aem_process (nvme_mi_ep_t ep , void *userdata );

look at her. two args, one int coming back at ya. no cap, that's the whole signature 🌸

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• ep — Endpoint to process. this is the main character of the operation, the thing you're pointing at and saying "yes, do the AEM thing here" 👑
• userdata — Application provided context pointer for callback function. it's your lil backpack of stuff that gets passed along so your callback knows what's up 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea. call this function if poll indicates data is available on the fd provided by nvme_mi_aem_get_fd. that's the trigger condition, bestie — poll says data's ready, then you call this. simple as 🧚

when you do, it will call the fn pointer, aem_handler, that was provided with nvme_mi_aem_config. so basically you set up your handler earlier, and this is the moment it gets invoked. and here's the cute part: from within this callback, the application can call nvme_mi_aem_get_next_event to get aem event data. so like, the callback gets to reach back in and pull the actual event info. very demure, very mindful ✨

and the callback function should return NVME_MI_AEM_HNA_ACK for normal operation. periodt. don't forget that part, it matters 💜

---

✨ RETURN ✨

• 0 is a success 🎉
• nonzero is an error 😭

and if you get a nonzero, you may read errno for further details — that's where the real lore lives 🔥

---

so yeah, that's nvme_mi_aem_process. poll says go, you call it, your aem_handler runs, you grab events with nvme_mi_aem_get_next_event, you return NVME_MI_AEM_HNA_ACK, and everybody's happy. check errno if not. mwah 💋

this lil love letter to you came straight out of the libnvme API manual, dated August 2026, and yes she's still serving nvme_mi_aem_process in the nvme_mi_aem_process(9) section header like the legend she is 🫶 go forth and process those AEMs, bestie 💖
