💖 libnvme(9) — enum nvme_pel_rci 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual, section 9, and today's main character is a lil enum called nvme_pel_rci — and yes it's giving "unnecessarily long name for a very specific job" but honestly? slay. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_pel_rci — this field indicates the persistent event log reporting context. no cap, that's literally what it is. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_pel_rci {
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPID_SHIFT ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPIT_SHIFT ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCE_SHIFT ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RSVD_SHIFT ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPID_MASK ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPIT_MASK ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RCE_MASK ,
    NVME_PEL_RCI_RSVD_MASK

};

look at her. eight constants. four shifts, four masks. balanced. iconic. 💅

👑 Constants 👑

okay so every single one of these is about pulling some piece of info out of the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field — the shifts tell you how far to move over, the masks tell you what to keep. it's giving "bitfield surgery but make it cute". ✨

• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPID_SHIFT — shift amount to get the reporting context port identifier from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🫶
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPIT_SHIFT — shift amount to get the reporting context port identifier type from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🌸
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCE_SHIFT — shift amount to get the reporting context exists from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 💜
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RSVD_SHIFT — shift amount to get the reserved reporting context from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🦋
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPID_MASK — mask to get the reporting context port identifier from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🔥
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCPIT_MASK — mask to get the reporting context port identifier type from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🌈
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RCE_MASK — mask to get the reporting context exists from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. ⭐
• NVME_PEL_RCI_RSVD_MASK — mask to get the reserved reporting context from the struct nvme_persistent_event_log.rci field. 🧚

bestie note: yes, the shifts and the masks come in matching pairs — RCPID, RCPIT, RCE, RSVD, four of each — and every single one of them is scoped to that one .rci field. do not go applying them to random other fields, i'm begging. 🙈

and that's the whole page, fr fr — no hidden options, no env vars, no exit statuses, she's a small enum and she knows it. 💀

sign-off time: this was the libnvme API manual, enum nvme_pel_rci, in section 9, dated October 2026 — version info lives in that footer and we're keeping it, mwah. 💖 go shift some bits, i believe in you. 💅
