lsm_pool_...t_type_get(3)

✨ lsm_pool_element_type_get — like, what can this pool even MAKE tho 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual 🌸 the function we're stanning today is lsm_pool_element_type_get, and she's literally the "so what are you gonna be when you grow up" question, but for a storage pool. no cap. 🫶

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS

uint64_t lsm_pool_element_type_get (lsm_pool *p);

that's it. one argument. one return. she's lowkey simple like that. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• p — the pool you want the element type for. give her the pool, she tells you her dreams. 💖

---

🦋 VERSION

1.0 — the O.G., the blueprint, the main character origin story. periodt.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION

so basically: you hand her a pool, and she tells you what kind of element that pool could be used to create. that's the whole vibe. it's giving "career counselor but for storage pools" and honestly? obsessed. 🔥

---

👑 RETURN

she returns a uint64_t — and heads up bestie, this is a bit sensitive field (like, bitwise flags energy, iykyk), so the possible values are:

• 0 — if it's unknown or unsupported. we don't know her, she's a mystery. 🙈
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_VOLUME — this pool can create a volume. 💅
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_FS — this pool can create a file system. 🍓
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_POOL — this pool can create a sub-pool. pools within pools, it's giving inception. 🌀
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_DELTA — this pool could hold delta data for snapshots. snap snap. 📸
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_VOLUME_FULL — this pool could create a fully allocated volume. no shortcuts, all in. 🔥
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_VOLUME_THIN — this pool could create a thin provisioned volume. skinny legend behavior. 🧚
• LSM_POOL_ELEMENT_TYPE_SYS_RESERVED — this pool is reserved for system internal use. hands off, she's working. 🚫

ngl, since it's a bit sensitive field, don't just == it and call it a day — those flags can stack. okay that's my one bit of nagging, love u. 💖

---

so yeah. that's the whole page. go get that element type, bestie. ✨
