NVME_SET_FEATURES_LBA_RANGE(2)

✨ nvme_set_features_lba_range(2) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual πŸ’– this one's nvme_set_features_lba_range, and yes it does exactly what it says on the tin β€” it sets the LBA range feature on your NVMe device. no cap. πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_set_features_lba_range β€” Set LBA range feature πŸ’…


⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int nvme_set_features_lba_range (int fd , __u32 nsid , __u8 nr_ranges ,
       bool save , struct nvme_lba_range_type *data , __u32 *result );

like, that's the whole summoning circle πŸ•―οΈ give it a file descriptor, a namespace, some ranges, and a dream ✨


πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • fd β€” File descriptor of nvme device 🫢 this is your lil handle to the device, the entryway, the portal, the whole vibe.
  • nsid β€” Namespace ID πŸ‘‘ which namespace are we talking to, bestie? gotta be specific.
  • nr_ranges β€” Number of ranges in data 🌈 fr fr, just count them. how many ranges live in data? that many.
  • save β€” Save value across power states πŸ’€ so it survives a power cycle? yes ma'am, set this and it persists. iconic behaviour honestly.
  • data β€” User address of feature data πŸ“ a pointer, your address, your feature data. that's it, that's the whole thing.
  • result β€” The command completion result from CQE dword0 😭 yes dword0, the classic. the completion queue entry hands you this lil nugget.

πŸ’œ RETURN πŸ’œ

so what do you get back? the nvme command status if a response was received πŸ’– β€” peep enum nvme_status_field for the full tea on what those statuses mean, iykyk β€” or -1 with errno set otherwise πŸ™ˆ like if things went sideways sideways, you get the -1 and an errno to explain the drama.


ngl, always check your return value. the -1 path is lowkey the main character of "why is my code broken" 😭

and that's the page, bestie πŸŽ€ this was nvme_set_features_lba_range(2) from the libnvme API manual, dated July 2026 ⭐ go forth and set those LBA range features, you absolute legend πŸ’…βœ¨πŸ«Ά
