nvme_status_to_errno(2)

πŸ’– nvme_status_to_errno(2) πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to the libnvme API manual ✨ this one's short and sweet, a little two-second read, and it's genuinely so useful. iykyk 🫢


🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_status_to_errno β€” converts nvme return status to errno

like. that's the whole job. it takes your nvme status and hands you back an errno. no cap πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

__u8 nvme_status_to_errno (int status , bool fabrics );

πŸŽ€ ARGUMENTS πŸŽ€

  • status β€” the return status you got back from an nvme passthrough command. yes, that status. the one you're squinting at 🧐
  • fabrics β€” set this to true if the status you're passing in is to a fabrics target. if it's not a fabrics target, bestie, leave it false πŸ’…

πŸ”₯ RETURN πŸ”₯

you get back an errno representing the nvme status β€” if it's an nvme status field. that's the main character path πŸ‘‘

but listen, plot twist: if status is < 0, it comes back unchanged, because errno is already set. so don't be out here expecting a glow-up on a negative number, it's literally already set πŸ™ˆ


πŸ’€ reminder: < 0 means hands off, the status stays exactly as you passed it, no edits, no touch-ups, <rainbow>periodt</rainbow>.
