NAME

6       pmem2_source_device_usc()  -  returns the unsafe shutdown counter value
7       of a device
8

SYNOPSIS

10              #include <libpmem2.h>
11
12              struct pmem2_source;
13              int pmem2_source_device_usc(const struct pmem2_source *source, uint64_t *usc);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       The pmem2_source_device_usc() function retrieves the sum of the  unsafe
17       shutdown  count(USC)  values  of  all hardware devices backing the data
18       source and stores it in *usc.
19
20       Please refer to libpmem2_unsafe_shutdown(7) for detailed description on
21       how to properly consume this information.
22

RETURN VALUE

24       The  pmem2_source_device_usc()  function  returns 0 on success.  If the
25       function fails, the *usc variable content is left unmodified and a neg‐
26       ative error code is returned.
27

ERRORS

29       The pmem2_source_device_usc() can fail with the following errors:
30
31       On all systems:
32
33       • PMEM2_E_NOSUPP - the underlying platform does not expose unsafe shut‐
34         down count information.
35
36       On Windows:
37
38       • -errno equivalent of return code set by  failing  GetFinalPathNameBy‐
39         HandleW(), while trying to resolve volume path from the file handle.
40
41       • -errno  set  by  failing malloc(3), while trying to allocate a buffer
42         for storing volume path.
43
44       • -errno equivalent of return code set by failing CreateFileW(),  while
45         trying to obtain a handle to the volume.
46
47       • -errno  equivalent  of  return code set by failing DeviceIoControl(),
48         while trying to obtain volume USC value.
49
50       On Linux:
51
52       • -errno set by failing fstat(2), while trying to validate the file de‐
53         scriptor.
54
55       • -errno set by failing ndctl_new(), while trying to initiate a new ND‐
56         CTL library context.
57
58       • -errno set by failing ndctl_dimm_get_dirty_shutdown(),  while  trying
59         to obtain DIMM USC value.
