💅 libnvme(9) — the API Manual, bestie edition ✨

Okay so like, welcome to the glow-up of the libnvme man page — specifically the one about enum nvme_sanitize_sanact, aka the Sanitize Action enum. Yes, we're talking about sanitizing your NVMe drive. Not a skincare routine, but honestly? Same energy. It's giving "clean slate, main character reset" 🫧✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum nvme_sanitize_sanact — Sanitize Action 💫

Like, it's literally an enum that tells you what kind of sanitize action we're doing. That's the whole vibe. 👑

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum nvme_sanitize_sanact {
    NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_EXIT_FAILURE ,
    NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_BLOCK_ERASE ,
    NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_OVERWRITE ,
    NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_CRYPTO_ERASE ,
    NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_EXIT_MEDIA_VERIF

};

Look at that list. Five little icons, all lined up, all ready to be used. No cap, this is the whole roster. 🧚

✨ Constants ✨

Bestie, here's the cast of characters — every single one, no skips, fr fr:

  • NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_EXIT_FAILURE — Exit Failure Mode. Yeah, we're bailing out of failure mode. It's giving "we don't do that here" energy 💀
  • NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_BLOCK_ERASE — Start a Block Erase sanitize operation. Block erase! Like a little ✨select all + delete✨ for your storage. Iconic.
  • NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_OVERWRITE — Start an Overwrite sanitize operation. Just straight-up overwriting everything. No subtlety, no crumbs, just full-on replacement 🫶
  • NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_START_CRYPTO_ERASE — Start a Crypto Erase sanitize operation. Crypto erase, aka the cool mysterious one that does the thing with the thing 🔥 iykyk
  • NVME_SANITIZE_SANACT_EXIT_MEDIA_VERIF — Exit Media Verification State. We're leaving the media verification state, bestie. Doors open, we out 🌈
Heads up, angel: I'm telling you exactly what the original says and nothing more — no extra lore, no invented behaviour, periodt. 💅

And that's a wrap on our little enum tour! This page is from October 2026, part of the libnvme(9) docs — so like, screenshot it, save it, live by it. Mwah 💖🎀🦋
