NVME_SET_FEATURES_TIMESTAMP(2)

✨ nvme_set_features_timestamp β€” the libnvme API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so picture this: it's the libnvme API manual and we're doing nvme_set_features_timestamp(2). yeah she's a whole syscall-wrapper vibe and honestly? iconic. let's get into it πŸŽ€


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

nvme_set_features_timestamp β€” set that timestamp feature, periodt ⏰✨


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

int nvme_set_features_timestamp (int fd , bool save , __u64 timestamp );

look at her. three little arguments. no cap, that's the whole signature πŸ’…


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • fd β€” the file descriptor of your nvme device. literally the doorway to the drive, bestie πŸšͺ✨
  • save β€” save the value across power states. yes girl, make it persistent πŸ’Ύ
  • timestamp β€” the current timestamp value you wanna assign to this feature. it's a __u64, so big numbers are welcome here πŸ‘‘

🫢 RETURN 🫢

so here's what comes back at you:

  • the nvme command status if a response was received β€” peek at enum nvme_status_field for the deets πŸ”
  • otherwise it's -1 with errno set. sad girl hours, but at least you know why 😭

ngl bestie, always check that return value before you celebrate. -1 is giving "we need to talk" πŸ’€
