πŸ’– libnvme β€” the API manual, bestie edition πŸ’–

okay so we're deep in libnvme(2) territory rn, and today's main character is a lil enum that's all about telling you which parts of a diagnostic report actually mean something. no cap. let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

enum nvme_st_valid_diag_info β€” Valid Diagnostic Information

like… it's the vibe check for your diagnostic info fields. each one's either "yeah this is valid" or "nah bestie, ignore it" πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum nvme_st_valid_diag_info {
    NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_NSID ,
    NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_FLBA ,
    NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_SCT ,
    NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_SC

};

look at her. four little constants, all serving. peak minimalist queen behavior πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ Constants πŸŽ€

  • NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_NSID β€” NSID Valid: if this one's set, then the contents of the Namespace Identifier field are valid. fr fr, that field is legit, no notes πŸ’–
  • NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_FLBA β€” FLBA Valid: if this one's set, then the contents of the Failing LBA field are valid. so if you see it, that Failing LBA is giving real information, periodt πŸ”₯
  • NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_SCT β€” SCT Valid: if this one's set, then the contents of the Status Code Type field are valid. yup yup, Status Code Type is trustworthy when this flag shows up ✨
  • NVME_ST_VALID_DIAG_INFO_SC β€” SC Valid: if this one's set, then the contents of the Status Code field are valid. status code said "I'm real" and honestly? we believe her 🫢

lowkey the whole point: every one of these is a "if set, then valid" situation. if it's not set, that field is not valid. don't be out here reading invalid fields and calling it data, bestie 😭

and that's the whole enum!! four constants, four little "yes this field is valid" green flags πŸ’š
