ISCSI_SESSION_PERSISTENT_ADDRESS_GET(3)

💅 iscsi_session_persistent_address_get(3) — the API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the API Manual (yes, the whole manual, and yes it's section 3), and it's about one tiny little function that tells you where a session first said hi. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_session_persistent_address_get — grab the iSCSI target persistent address of the session you specified 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * iscsi_session_persistent_address_get (struct iscsi_session *se);

like, that's the whole thing. one call, one string back, no drama 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• se — a pointer to your struct iscsi_session. and bestie, listen: if this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert 💀 no cap, it does not gracefully handle it, it just ends you. so maybe check that pointer, mwah 🎀

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this function retrieves the iSCSI target persistent address of the iSCSI session you specified. slay.

now the 'persistent address' is — and this is the important part — the network address where the iSCSI initiator sends the initial request. that's it, that's the vibe 👑

but heads up: when iSCSI redirection is in use, this address might not be the network address used for the actual iSCSI transaction. like, it's giving "old address, who dis" 🙈 so please use iscsi_session_address_get for the target network address of the iSCSI transaction instead. iykyk.

---

💖 RETURN 💖

returns a const char *. it's an empty string if it's not supported.

and the best part: no need to free this memory 🎉 the resources will get freed by iscsi_session_free or iscsi_sessions_free, so you literally don't have to do anything. main character energy from the memory management, honestly.

---

⚠️ reminder that se being NULL = assert = program terminated. not a soft fail, not a cute little error code. terminated. respect the pointer 💀

k that's the whole page 🧚 it's from the API Manual, dated September 2026, and the source/version line is that glorious iscsi_session_persisteniscsi_session_...nt_address_get(3) situation — iconic, slightly cursed, we love her 💜 bye bestie, go get those persistent addresses 🌈⭐
