💖 lsm_target_port_network_address_get — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual and it's about lsm_target_port_network_address_get, which is genuinely such a mouthful but like… it does exactly what it says on the tin, and we love that for it. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_target_port_network_address_get — retrieve the network address for the target_port. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char * lsm_target_port_network_address_get (lsm_target_port *tp);

look at her. one function, one argument, zero drama. iconic. 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • tp — Pointer of lsm_target_port to retrieve network address for. yes bestie, this is the thing you're asking about, hand her over. 🦋

⭐ VERSION ⭐

1.0 — og release energy, no notes. ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So basically you call this and it retrieves the network address for the target_port. 💖

And the network address? It's a lower case string that gets used by the network layer, like FC and TCP/IP. it's giving "I speak fluent fabric and also fluent ethernet," versatility queen. 🌈

Here's the vibe breakdown, no cap:

  • FC/FCoE:
    • WWPN (split with : every two digits) — yes the colons are mandatory, that's just her format, respect it. 💀
  • iSCSI:
    • <ipv4_address>:<tcp_port>
    • [<ipv6_address>]:<tcp_port>

not the ipv6 getting brackets while ipv4 gets to just exist freely 😭 that's the protocol's choice, not mine, and honestly it ate. 🔥

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

okay this part is IMPORTANT so pay attention bestie, fr fr:

Address returned is valid until lsm_target_port gets freed — copy the return value if you need longer scope. Do not free returned string.

the way that this is the classic "she's not yours, don't try to own her" situation 💀 you did not allocate it, so you do not free it. if you free it you will have a bad time and I will be sad. copy it if you need it to stick around longer, periodt. 🙈

🔥 RETURN 🔥

  • string. 💖
  • NULL if argument tp is NULL or not a valid lsm_target_port pointer. (yes, she will absolutely hand you a NULL and walk away if you pass her nonsense — she has standards. 👑)

hmm, nothing else listed here bestie, this page is self-contained and honestly? main character energy. no entourage needed. 💅
