💅 libnvme(9) — like, the API Manual bestie 🎀

okay so this page is from the API Manual for libnvme — yes, that libnvme, the one you're literally already obsessed with — and today's main character is one very specific little enum. buckle up 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_nd_ns_fpi — bestie, this is the field that tells you: if a format operation is in progress, what percentage of the namespace is still left to be formatted. it's giving progress bar energy, fr fr 📊

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_nd_ns_fpi {
    NVME_NS_FPI_REMAINING ,
    NVME_NS_FPI_SUPPORTED

};

like, that's the whole thing. two constants. no cap. 💅

---

💖 Constants 💖

• NVME_NS_FPI_REMAINING — this one is a mask to get the format percent remaining value. so you mask with it and boom, you've got your remaining percentage ✨
• NVME_NS_FPI_SUPPORTED — if this bit is set, it indicates that the namespace supports the Format Progress Indicator defined for the field. iykyk 👑

---

lowkey important: NVME_NS_FPI_REMAINING is a mask, not the value itself — mask first, then read the percent remaining. don't come for me if you skip that step 🙈

---

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, sweet, and iconic 🌈

sign-off time: this page is the enum nvme_nd_ns_fpi page, dated October 2026, and it lives in libnvme(9) — stay slay, stay formatted, and don't forget to check your progress indicator 💜🧚‍♀️
