nvme_set_features_simple(2)

πŸ’– nvme_set_features_simple(2) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual ✨ this one lives in section 2 of the manual, so it's a system/API call situation, and honestly? she's a little helper function and she knows it πŸ’…


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_set_features_simple β€” the little helper function for @nvme_set_features() 🫢

like, she's not doing the whole job herself, she's the bestie that hands the main character their coffee before they go on stage β˜•πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int nvme_set_features_simple (int fd , __u8 fid , __u32 nsid , __u32 cdw11 , bool save , __u32 *result );

that's the whole signature, no cap. she returns an int, and she takes a fd, a fid, an nsid, a cdw11, a save and a pointer to result πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • fd β€” the file descriptor of the nvme device πŸ’» this is your main character's backstage pass, you literally cannot get in without it.
  • fid β€” the feature identifier 🏷️ which feature are we talking about? this is the name tag.
  • nsid β€” the namespace ID, if applicable 🌈 sometimes it matters, sometimes it's like... not relevant bestie, and that's fine.
  • cdw11 β€” the value you wanna set the feature to πŸ”₯ this is the actual tea you're pouring in.
  • save β€” save the value across power states πŸ’Ύ yes queen, persist. she said "I will remember this even after a reboot."
  • result β€” the command completion result from CQE dword0 πŸ“¬ the little note that comes back to tell you how it went.

🌟 RETURN 🌟

so like, what does she give back? πŸ‘€

  • the nvme command status if a response was received β€” peep enum nvme_status_field for the full menu of possibilities πŸ“–
  • or -1 with errno set if a response was not received 😭 yeah. it's giving "she didn't text back" energy.
ngl if you get the -1, go check errno immediately. it's not ghosting you, it's telling you something πŸ’€

πŸ’œ SEE YOU LATER, BESTIE πŸ’œ
