nvme_set_fe...ance_evt_cfg(2)

πŸ’– nvme_set_features_endurance_evt_cfg β€” a libnvme API manual moment πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the nvme_set_fe...ance_evt_cfg(2) page from the libnvme API manual. this one's short and sweet and honestly? she's giving "tiny function, big responsibility" energy. let's get into it πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_set_features_endurance_evt_cfg β€” Set endurance event config feature

that's it. that's the whole name. slay. πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_set_features_endurance_evt_cfg (int fd , __u16 endgid , __u8
egwarn , bool save , __u32 *result );

five args, one int coming back at you. it's giving "get in, configure your endurance warnings, get out" πŸ¦‹


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

bestie every single one of these matters, so here we go, no skipping:

  • fd β€” File descriptor of nvme device. this is your lil hall pass to the drive itself, don't lose it πŸ”‘
  • endgid β€” Endurance Group Identifier. it's telling the function which endurance group we're talking about, so be specific, she's not a mind reader πŸ’œ
  • egwarn β€” Flags to enable warning, see enum nvme_eg_critical_warning_flags. so this is where you set your warning config, and the enum nvme_eg_critical_warning_flags is your bestie that has all the actual flag values. go look at her, she's got the deets πŸ‘‘
  • save β€” Save value across power states. true means it sticks around after a power cycle, so like… she remembers you. iconic behavior fr fr ✨
  • result β€” The command completion result from CQE dword0. this is a pointer, so the answer gets written into whatever __u32 you point it at. lowkey the receipts πŸ“©

πŸ’€ RETURN πŸ’€

The nvme command status if a response was received (see enum nvme_status_field) or -1 with errno set otherwise.

so basically: you get a real status back if the drive answered you, and you go check enum nvme_status_field to decode what she said. if things went fully sideways and nobody responded, it's -1 and errno is your emotional support error variable 😭 do not ignore errno, she's trying to tell you something.


πŸ‘‘ a lil sign-off πŸ‘‘

no cap, that's the whole page. this vibe check was brought to you by the libnvme API manual, dated July 2026, and this section (section 2, the syscalls girlies) says bye bestie β€” go set some endurance event config, you got this πŸ’œπŸ¦‹βœ¨πŸŽ€
