✨ nvme_ns_mgmt(2) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libnvme API manual — yes, the actual C library manual, and yes, we're doing this 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

nvme_ns_mgmt — Issue a Namespace management command

like, it literally just fires off a Namespace management command. that's the whole vibe. no cap. 🔥

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int nvme_ns_mgmt (struct nvme_ns_mgmt_args *args );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• args — a struct nvme_ns_mgmt_args argument structure. that's it, that's the whole argument list. one (1) struct, and she's the main character 👑

---

💖 RETURN 💖

so here's the tea on what comes back:

• If a response was actually received: you get the nvme command status (peep enum nvme_status_field for the deets, iykyk).
• Otherwise: you get -1, and errno is set. yep, classic. 🫶

ngl bestie, always check that errno if you see the -1 — she's not gonna explain herself, the number is doing all the talking 😭

---

and that's the whole page fr fr 🌈 go forth and manage those namespaces, icon 💜
