okay so real talk, this one lives in the API Manual and it's called iscsi_sessions_get β€” say that five times fast, i can't. bestie, it's gonna hand you every single iSCSI session you've got. all of them. the whole group chat. πŸ‘‘


✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_sessions_get β€” Retrieve all iSCSI sessions. periodt. that's the whole vibe.


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int iscsi_sessions_get (struct iscsi_context *ctx, struct iscsi_session
***ses, uint32_t *se_count);

like, look at all those asterisks. triple pointer energy. main character energy, honestly. πŸ’…


✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • ctx β€” Pointer of 'struct iscsi_context'. this is your context, your lore, your backstory. but listen β€” if this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert. not a vibe check, an actual assert. 😭 so don't be cute with it.
  • ses β€” Output pointer of 'struct iscsi_session' pointer array. it's giving "here's your array, go off". its memory should be freed by iscsi_sessions_free β€” yes you HAVE to free it, no leaking in this house, we don't do that here 🫢. and if this pointer is NULL, your program will be terminated by assert too. same energy.
  • se_count β€” Output pointer of uint32_t. Will store the size of
ngl the manpage literally just stops there mid-sentence 😭 "the size of" WHAT. i'm not making up the rest for you, that's exactly what it says. it stores a size. of something. adjacent. use your intuition bestie, it's the array length. but fr the source text cuts off right there. πŸ’€

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Retrieves all iSCSI sessions. all of them. the entire roster. lowkey iconic. ✨

For the properties of 'struct iscsi_session', please refer to the functions defined in 'libopeniscsiusr_session.h' file. that's where the whole personality of the struct lives, go read it, it's a whole thing. πŸ“–


✨ RETURN ✨

Returns int. valid error codes are, and i need you to memorize these:

  • LIBISCSI_OK
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEM
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESS
  • LIBISCSI_ERR_SYSFS_LOOKUP

and the error number could be converted to string by iscsi_strerror. so like, you don't have to decode numbers in your head like a gremlin β€” just call that. πŸ”₯

important vibe check: LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG exists and that's not a drill, that means something genuinely went wrong in the code itself. treat it with respect. πŸ™ˆ

that's the whole page bestie, you ate that πŸ’– πŸŽ€ 🌸
