iscsi_session_get(3)

💅 iscsi_session_get(3) — the API Manual glow-up ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the iscsi_session_get page from the API Manual. this is the one that goes and fetches your iSCSI sessions for you. grab a strawberry drink 🍓 and let's get into it.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

iscsi_session_get — retrieve specified iSCSI sessions. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iscsi_session_get (struct iscsi_context *ctx, uint32_t sid, struct
iscsi_session **se);

look at her. iconic signature. she returns an int, she takes three things, she's booked and busy. 👑

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ctx — this is your pointer to struct iscsi_context, aka the whole context of the situation (literally). 🫶 heads up though: if this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. no cap, that's a hard exit. 💀
• sid — a uint32_t, and it's the iSCSI session ID. the number that says which session you're asking about. 🔢
• se — output pointer of struct iscsi_session pointer. so it's a pointer to a pointer, and yes, that's the level of nesting we're on today. 🪆 its memory should be freed by iscsi_session_free — do not forget, bestie, that's your cleanup main-character moment. if this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. and if the specified iSCSI session does not exist, this pointer will be set to NULL with LIBISCSI_OK returned — so a NULL here doesn't always mean something broke, iykyk. 🙈

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

retrieves specified iSCSI sessions. 💫

then it says: "For the properties of" — and honestly? it just stops there. the sentence trails off mid-thought, like a text you started typing and then got distracted. 😭 i'm not gonna make up the rest of it for you, so that's genuinely where the original documentation ends. 🧚

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

returns an int. valid error codes are:

• LIBISCSI_OK
• LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG
• LIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEM
• LIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESS
• LIBISCSI_ERR_SYSFS_LOOKUP
• LIBISCSI_ERR_SESS_NOT_FOUND

the error number could be converted to a string by iscsi_strerror — so if you get a number and you're like "girl what does this mean", that's your translator. 💅

---

cute little reminder: ctx NULL = assert, se NULL = assert, and *se should be handed to iscsi_session_free when you're done. protect your memory, protect your peace. 🌸

and that's the page!! 🎀 written up for September 2026, from the iscsi_session_get corner of the API Manual — mwah, slay, go free your sessions responsibly, bestie. 💜🦋✨
