NVME_SET_FEATURES_ERR_RECOVERY(2)

πŸ’– nvme_set_features_err_recovery(2) πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because we're diving into the libnvme API manual and honestly? this one's a lil baddie. it's called nvme_set_features_err_recovery, and no, that's not a typo, that's just how long the name is. she's iconic, she's verbose, and she sets the error recovery feature on your NVMe device. periodt. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_set_features_err_recovery β€” set error recovery feature πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int nvme_set_features_err_recovery (int fd , __u32 nsid , __u16 tler ,
       bool dulbe , bool save , __u32 *result );

like… look at her. six whole params. main character energy fr fr. ✨


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

here's the tea on every single one of these, no skips, no cap:

  • fd β€” the file descriptor of your nvme device. it's giving "your ticket to the show" 🎟️ you gotta have it or nothing happens.
  • nsid β€” Namespace ID. which namespace are we talking to? this one. πŸ‘‘
  • tler β€” Time-limited error recovery value. it's a __u16, it's mysterious, it's doing the most. πŸ•°οΈβœ¨
  • dulbe β€” Deallocated or Unwritten Logical Block Error Enable. yes the acronym is a mouthful, yes it's a bool, yes it's slaying. 🫢
  • save β€” Save value across power states. basically "remember this even after a nap" πŸ˜΄πŸ’Ύ set it true and she'll hold onto it through power states.
  • result β€” The command completion result from CQE dword0. she's a __u32 * pointer, so she writes back to you. cute, communicative, obsessed. πŸ“¬

πŸ’€ RETURN πŸ’€

so what do you get back? two options, bestie:

  • The nvme command status if a response was received β€” see enum nvme_status_field for the whole rundown. iykyk.
  • -1 with errno set otherwise. 😭 that's the "it didn't go how we wanted" path. not the vibe, but at least she tells you.
lowkey important: errno only gets set on that -1 route. don't go reading it when you got a real status back, that's not the move πŸ™ˆ

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs πŸ“πŸ§š

sign-off time: this lil masterpiece came out of the libnvme world, and the docs are dated July 2026 β€” so like, technically from the future, and honestly? she's aging gorgeously. πŸ’œ keep setting those features, stay hydrated, and don't forget your save flag if you want it to survive a power cycle. mwah πŸ’…βœ¨πŸŒΈ
