⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns an lsm_disk_link_type — the disk link type. here are all the possible values, no skipping, we list every single one:

  • LSM_DISK_LINK_TYPE_NO_SUPPORT — the plugin does not support this property. not her department, respectfully 🙈
  • LSM_DISK_LINK_TYPE_UNKNOWN — either your d argument is NULL, or the plugin tried to detect the link type and failed to figure it out. mystery vibes, but the un-fun kind 💀
  • LSM_DISK_LINK_TYPE_FC — Fibre Channel
  • LSM_DISK_LINK_TYPE_SSA — Serial Storage Architecture, old IBM tech. vintage. a real throwback era 🎀
