lsm_disk_type_get(3)

💅 lsm_disk_type_get — the Libstoragemgmt C API manual, bestie edition 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_disk_type_get — lowkey just retrieves the disk type. That's the whole job. She's a simple girl and she eats every time. 🍓

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lsm_disk_type lsm_disk_type_get (lsm_disk *d);

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• d — the Disk you want the type for. She's the main character of this function, no cap.

---

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — she's been iconic since day one. 💖

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So basically, this function retrieves the type for the disk. The possible values it can hand you back are giving:

• LSM_DISK_TYPE_UNKNOWN — the unknown one, which you get when argument d is NULL. Not her ghosting you, it's literally the documented behaviour. 💀
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_OTHER — vendor specific, iykyk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_ATA — IDE/ATA disk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_SATA — SATA disk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_SAS — SAS disk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_FC — FC disk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_SOP — SCSI over PCI-E for Solid State Storage.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_SCSI — SCSI disk.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_LUN — LUN from external storage array.
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_NL_SAS — NL_SAS disk (SATA disk using SAS interface).
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_HDD — failback value for hard disk drive (rotational). Spinning queen. 🌈
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_SSD — Solid State Disk. Fast girlie. ✨
• LSM_DISK_TYPE_HYBRID — combination of HDD and SSD. Best of both worlds, literally the definition of balance. 🧚

---

🔥 RETURN 🔥

A string. And it gives you NULL if argument d is NULL or not a valid lsm_disk pointer — so please, bestie, hand her a real disk. 🙈

Fr fr though: pass a bad pointer and you get NULL back. That's the documented vibe, don't come for her.

Okay that's the whole page, mwah. 💜 This one's from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual, dated February 2026, and it's lsm_disk_type_get on the 3 manual page. Go read it again if you forgot something, I'll wait. 🫶🎀
