dmmp_...s_str(3)

💖 dmmp_path_group_status_str — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a lil page from the Device Mapper Multipath API (that's the libdmmp Manual, section 3, the library-functions section, iykyk) and it's about exactly one tiny iconic little function. her name is dmmp_path_group_status_str and she converts path group status into a string. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ATE. 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

dmmp_path_group_status_str — convert path group status to string. no cap, that's literally the entire thing she does.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * dmmp_path_group_status_str (uint32_t pg_status);

like… one argument. one return. we love a low-maintenance queen. 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pg_status — a uint32_t, bestie. this is the path group status. and listen, important detail: if the value you hand her is not a valid path group status, she returns "Invalid argument". she's not gonna guess, she's not gonna improvise, she's gonna tell you it's invalid. fr fr.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

she takes a path group status, which is a uint32_t, and converts it into a string, which is a const char *. that's the vibe. simple. elegant. main character energy. ✨

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

you get back a const char *. the valid strings are:

• "Invalid argument"
• "undef"
• "enabled"
• "disabled"
• "active"

that's the whole roster. five strings. know them, love them. 🫶

ok so heads up bestie — if pg_status isn't one of the valid path group status values, you're getting "Invalid argument" back. no exceptions, no mystery, just the truth. 😭

and that's the page!! this lil slice of the dmmp_path_group_status_str docs is from the Device Mapper Multipath API - libdmmp Manual, and it's dated June 2025 — so if you're reading this in the future, hi, hope your multipath is behaving. 🧚 go convert some statuses, bestie, you got this. 🎀✨💖
