NVME_SET_FEATURES_POWER_MGMT(2)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because this is nvme_set_features_power_mgmt from the libnvme API manual β€” and yes, it does exactly what it says on the tin: it sets the power management feature. πŸŽ€

That's the whole vibe. Setting the power management feature on your nvme device. Slay.


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int nvme_set_features_power_mgmt (int fd , __u8 ps , __u8 wh , bool save
, __u32 *result );

literally just one function call, five args, no drama. πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

here's the rundown on everything you're passing in, no cap:

  • fd β€” the file descriptor of your nvme device. like, the actual handle to the thing you're talking to. 🫢
  • ps β€” the Power State. which power state, babes, that's on you to pick.
  • wh β€” the Workload Hint. a lil nudge about what kind of work is happening. πŸ‘€
  • save β€” Save value across power states. set it true if you want this to stick around when the power state changes. yes queen, persistence.
  • result β€” the command completion result from CQE dword0. this is where the answer comes back to you. πŸ“¬

πŸ’– RETURN πŸ’–

so what do you get back? it returns the nvme command status if a response was received β€” go peek at enum nvme_status_field for the deets on those.

and if no response came through? you get -1, with errno set. classic. 😭 so like, always check your errno, bestie, i'm begging.
