iscsi_strerror(3)

💜 iscsi_strerror(3) — the API Manual page, bestie edition 💜

okay so this is a page from the API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) and it's about iscsi_strerror — literally the glow-up translator that turns your sad little error number into actual human words. let's get into it ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

iscsi_strerror — converts an error code into a string. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

const char * iscsi_strerror (int rc);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• rc — an int, bestie. it's the return code that came out of libiscsiur functions. and listen — if the error code you hand over isn't actually a valid error code? it just gives you back "Invalid argument". no drama, no crash, just a gentle "girl what". 💅

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

the whole job here is converting an error code (an int) into a string (a const char *). here's the full translation table, no cap, nothing skipped:

• LIBISCSI_OK → "OK" — slay, everything's fine 💖
• LIBISCSI_ERR_BUG → "BUG of libopeniscsiusr library" — not me, not you, it's the library 😭
• LIBISCSI_ERR_SESS_NOT_FOUND → "Specified iSCSI session not found" — the session is giving missing person energy 🫶
• LIBISCSI_ERR_ACCESS → "Permission deny" — you shall not pass, permission-wise 🔒
• LIBISCSI_ERR_NOMEM → "Out of memory" — the brain cell budget is spent 💀
• LIBISCSI_ERR_SYSFS_LOOKUP → "Could not lookup object in sysfs" — the sysfs object is lowkey ghosting you 👻
• Other invalid error number → "Invalid argument" — unrecognised number, iconic behaviour, firmly declined 🙈

---

👑 RETURN 👑

returns a const char * — the meaning of the error code you provided. super important, bestie, do NOT free the returned pointer. it's not yours, hands off, no take-backsies. ⭐

fr fr though — that pointer isn't yours to free(). leave it alone. 🧚
