πŸ’œ libnvme(9) β€” API Manual πŸ’œ

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>libnvme</pink> API manual, section <pink>9</pink>, and today we're doing a full vibe check on one very specific little enum. she's small, she's specific, she's got main character energy for exactly one job: telling you what type of vendor-specific event data you're looking at in the Persistent Event Log. no cap. let's get into it. πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_pel_vsedt_code β€” Persistent Event Log - Vendor Specific Event Data Type Code

like literally the whole name is the plot. nvme = the NVMe stuff, pel = Persistent Event Log, vsedt = Vendor Specific Event Data Type, and code = the code. iconic abbreviation stacking, honestly. πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum nvme_pel_vsedt_code {
    NVME_PEL_VSEDT_RSVD ,
    NVME_PEL_VSEDT_EVENT_NAME ,
    NVME_PEL_VSEDT_ASCII_STRING ,
    NVME_PEL_VSEDT_BINARY ,
    NVME_PEL_VSEDT_SIGNED_INT

};

that's the whole enum, five constants, in that exact order, no extras, no surprises. copy it exactly if you're typing it out β€” do not come for those commas bestie, they're staying. πŸŽ€


✨ Constants ✨

okay so here's the cast of characters, one by one, in the order the enum lists them:

  • NVME_PEL_VSEDT_RSVD β€” Reserved. as in, not for you. hands off. it's giving "reserved parking spot" energy. πŸ™ˆ
  • NVME_PEL_VSEDT_EVENT_NAME β€” Event Name. this one means the data is an event name, slay. ⭐
  • NVME_PEL_VSEDT_ASCII_STRING β€” ASCII String. the data is an ASCII string, plain and simple, no drama. 🌸
  • NVME_PEL_VSEDT_BINARY β€” Binary. the data is binary, raw bytes doing raw byte things. πŸ’€
  • NVME_PEL_VSEDT_SIGNED_INT β€” Signed Integer. the data is a signed integer, yes with the sign, she's sensitive like that. πŸ’…
lowkey reminder: these are just the type codes. the enum literally does not elaborate further, so don't go reading extra behaviour into it β€” whatever the manual says is what you get, fr fr. 🫢

and that's the page!! five constants, one enum, zero notes, no SEE ALSO, no ERRORS, no environment variables β€” she's a minimalist, she's efficient, she ate and left no crumbs. πŸ“

kisses and clean compiles, bestie πŸ’– β€” this was enum nvme_pel_vsedt_code, from the <cyan>libnvme(9)</cyan> API Manual, October 2026 edition. go forth and type your event data correctly. πŸŒˆπŸ‘‘
