iscsi_iface_get(3)

💅 iscsi_iface_get — the API Manual one, bestie

Okay so this is iscsi_iface_get(3) from the API Manual and it's literally the glow-up guide for grabbing one specific iSCSI interface. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_iface_get — Retrieve specified iSCSI interface. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

int iscsi_iface_get (struct iscsi_context *ctx, const char *iface_name,
       struct iscsi_iface **iface);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctx — Pointer of 'struct iscsi_context'. Bestie. Listen. If this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. Not a drill, not a vibe check you can fail gracefully — it's an assert. 💀
• iface_name — String. Name of iSCSI interface. It's also the file name of configuration file "/etc/iscsi/iface/<iface_name>". If this pointer is NULL or empty string, your program will be terminated by assert. Same energy, same consequences. 😭
• iface — Output pointer of 'struct iscsi_iface'. Its memory should be freed by iscsi_iface_free. If this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. Three for three on the assert situation, iconic honestly. 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does it do. It retrieves specified iSCSI interfaces by reading configuration from "/etc/iscsi/iface/<iface_name>". Reading the config file, that's the whole main character move. 📖✨

To generate iSCSI interface configuration when new card installed, please use iscsi_default_iface_setup. Like, that's the one you want for the fresh-card moment, iykyk.

Illegal configuration file will be treated as error LIBISCSI_ERR_IDBM. Configuration file not found will be treated as error LIBISCSI_ERR_INVAL. Two very different problems, two very different error codes — don't mix them up, bestie. 🚨

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Returns int. Valid error codes are:

• LIBISCSI_OK
• LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG
• LIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEM
• LIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESS
• LIBISCSI_ERR_SYSFS_LOOKUP
• LIBISCSI_ERR_IDBM

Error number could be converted to string by iscsi_strerror. Slay. 💅
