✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the iscsi_session_password_in_get(3) page, straight out of the API Manual bestie — and it's here to help you retrieve the authentication password of a specified session. 💅

iscsi_session_password_in_get — retrieve the authentication password of the specified session. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * iscsi_session_password_in_get (struct iscsi_session *se);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • se — pointer of struct iscsi_session. If this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. no cap, that's the vibe check and it does not pass 😭

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Retrieve the inbound authentication password of the specified iSCSI session. Currently open-iscsi only supports the CHAP authentication method. The inbound authentication here means the iSCSI initiator authenticates the iSCSI target using CHAP. It's controlled by this setting in iscsid.conf:

and yes bestie, the sentence in the source just ends at that colon — iconic dangling-colon behavior, no setting name included 💀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

It returns const char *. Empty string if you're not using inbound CHAP authentication, or if it failed to read authentication information.

No need to free this memory — the resources will get freed by iscsi_session_free or iscsi_sessions_free. so don't do extra, okay? let the cleanup girlies handle it 🫶

okay bye bestie — cute sign-off time: September 2026 date energy from the API Manual, plus that footer source/version string iscsi_session_passwordiscsi_session_password_in_get(3) (yes it's giving doubled-name chaos 💀) — slay and stay authenticated. 🎀✨
