I meant that the program returns in a signed value, but it's going to be
parsed in 8bits which is unix style, I think. Sorry for being unclear.
That's not enough to hold nvme status value at all.

Got your point. To make this discussion short, I think we need to make it
in nvme-cli first. Let me have a discussion on the following link:
