✨ NAME ✨

lsm_local_disk_serial_num_get — bestie, we're getting the serial number 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int lsm_local_disk_serial_num_get (const char *disk_path, char
     **serial_num, lsm_error **lsm_err);

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• disk_path — String, and it's literally the path of the disk path, like "/dev/sdb". Yes, the manpage says "path of disk path", we don't make the rules, we just pass them along 🫶
• serial_num — Output pointer of the SCSI VPD80 serial number. It's NULL when there's an error. And the memory? Should be freed by free, no cap.
• lsm_err — Output pointer of lsm_error. You can grab the error message via lsm_error_message_get, and the memory should be freed by lsm_error_free. Clean up after yourself, queen 👑

💖 VERSION 💖

1.4 ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the whole vibe here is: you query the serial number of a specified disk path. That's the moment. 🌈

And for SCSI/SAS/SATA/ATA disks specifically, it will be extracted from the SCSI VPD 0x80 page. That's where the tea lives, iykyk 🍓

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Error code as enumerated by lsm_error_number:

• LSM_ERR_OK — On success or not found. Yeah, "or not found" is right there, don't @ me 😭
• LSM_ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT — When any argument is NULL.
• LSM_ERR_NO_MEMORY — When no memory. 💀
• LSM_ERR_LIB_BUG — When something unexpected happens. The library is giving... unhinged 🙈
• LSM_ERR_NOT_FOUND_DISK — When provided disk path not found.

Okay bestie, that's the whole page 💜 Go forth and get those serial numbers, main character energy only 👑

February 2026 energy, straight out of the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual — slay, bye 💖🎀🦋
