β¨ NAME β¨
iscsi_sessions_get β Retrieve all iSCSI sessions. periodt. that's the whole vibe.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
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. π
β¨ ARGUMENTS β¨
ctxβ Pointer of'struct iscsi_context'. this is your context, your lore, your backstory. but listen β if this pointer isNULL, your program will be terminated byassert. not a vibe check, an actual assert. π so don't be cute with it.sesβ Output pointer of'struct iscsi_session'pointer array. it's giving "here's your array, go off". its memory should be freed byiscsi_sessions_freeβ yes you HAVE to free it, no leaking in this house, we don't do that here π«Ά. and if this pointer isNULL, your program will be terminated byasserttoo. same energy.se_countβ Output pointer ofuint32_t. Will store the size of
ngl the manpage literally just stops there mid-sentence π "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. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Retrieves all iSCSI sessions. all of them. the entire roster. lowkey iconic. β¨
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. π
β¨ RETURN β¨
Returns int. valid error codes are, and i need you to memorize these:
LIBISCSI_OKLIBISCSI_ERR_BUGLIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEMLIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESSLIBISCSI_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. π₯
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. π
that's the whole page bestie, you ate that π π πΈ
this has been the API Manual's iscsi_sessions_get(3), dated September 2026 β mwah, see you in the next one π§ββοΈ π
