💖 libnvme(2) — the API Manual, bestie edition 💖

okay so you're deep in libnvme land and you pulled up this page, which means you wanna meet a very specific little struct. welcome. this is the manual for struct nvme_mi_nvm_ss_health_status, and honestly? it's giving "subsystem management data structure" and I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. 🩺✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct nvme_mi_nvm_ss_health_status — the Subsystem Management Data Structure. that's it, that's the whole vibe. it holds the health tea for your NVM subsystem. 🍵

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct nvme_mi_nvm_ss_health_status {
    __u8 nss;
    __u8 sw;
    __u8 ctemp;
    __u8 pdlu;
    __le16 ccs;
    __u8 rsvd8[2];
 };

look at her. so compact. so organized. the field order matters, the types matter, and rsvd8 is just there holding space like a supportive bestie. 💅

🌸 Members 🌸

  • nss — NVM Subsystem Status. the moment of truth, the ~vibe check~ of the whole subsystem. 👑
  • sw — Smart Warnings. it's literally in the name, she's smart and she's warning you. listen to her. 🚨
  • ctemp — Composite Temperature. yes bestie, we're taking her temperature. 🌡️
  • pdlu — Percentage Drive Life Used. how much of the drive's life is used up — the drive's screen time has been a lot, ngl. 😭
  • ccs — Composite Controller Status. controller status, but make it composite. 🦋
  • rsvd8 — Reserved. do not touch. not yours. reserved means reserved, fr fr. 🙈
💀 quick reminder bestie: rsvd8 is Reserved, so leave it alone, and keep every field name and type exactly as they appear above — no renaming, no "fixing", no rearranging. the struct knows what it is. periodt.

that's the whole page!! short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. go forth and read your subsystem health like the main character you are. 💜
