dmmp_...s_get(3)

💖 dmmp_path_group_status_get — the libdmmp bestie you didn't know you needed 💖

okay so this one lives in the Device Mapper Multipath API manual, aka libdmmp, and it's literally just one tiny little function whose whole job is telling you what mood your path group is in. iconic behavior tbh. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

dmmp_path_group_status_get — retrieve path group status. that's it, that's the whole job. she's simple, she's efficient, she ate. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

uint32_t dmmp_path_group_status_get (struct dmmp_path_group *dmmp_pg);

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dmmp_pg — pointer of struct dmmp_path_group. and listen, bestie, if this pointer is NULL, your program is getting terminated by assert. not ghosted, not warned, terminated. so pls check your pointers before you hand them over. 🙈

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so the valid path group statuses are, in no particular order but also very much in this order:

• DMMP_PATH_GROUP_STATUS_UNKNOWN — the mystery era. nobody knows, not even her. 🕵️
• DMMP_PATH_GROUP_STATUS_ENABLED — standby to be active. she's waiting in the wings, warmed up, ready to be the main character. ✨
• DMMP_PATH_GROUP_STATUS_DISABLED — disabled due to all path down. every single path said "i'm out", so the whole group is benched. 💀
• DMMP_PATH_GROUP_STATUS_ACTIVE — selected to handle I/O. she's the one. she's carrying the I/O. she's got main character energy and the crown to match. 👑

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

uint32_t. that's the whole return. a uint32_t. no drama, no surprises, just a number that tells you which of the four moods above you're in. periodt.

---

ngl, the vibe check here is: call it, get a uint32_t, match it against the constants, move on with your life. no cap. 🔥

---

that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 stay hydrated, check your NULL pointers, and go be a main character in your own I/O path. 💖

written by the libdmmp girlies for the Device Mapper Multipath API - libdmmp Manual, dated June 2025 — and yes, the function is dmmp_path_group_status_get, and yes, this is dmmp_...s_get(3) because the page name got abbreviated and we're all just living with it 🌈
