nvme_status_to_string(2)

✨ nvme_status_to_string(2) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the libnvme API manual and it's all about one lil function that turns your scary nvme status numbers into actual human-readable strings 💖 it's a section 2 manual page, iykyk

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

nvme_status_to_string — returns a string describing an nvme return status, no cap 🫶

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

const char * nvme_status_to_string (int status , bool fabrics );

---

💅 ARGUMNS 💅

wait no. # 💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• status — the return status you got back from an nvme passthrough command 👀 like, the number the drive handed you
• fabrics — set this to true if that status belongs to a fabrics target 🧚 otherwise girl it's just not a fabrics situation

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

so here's the tea: you get back the string representation of the nvme status if it's actually an nvme status field 🔥 buuut if status is < 0, you get a standard errno string instead — classic, iconic, we love a fallback 💜

ngl, that < 0 case matters — negative status means you're in errno territory, not nvme status territory. don't get it twisted ✨
