💖 lsm_volume_vpd83_get(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Libstoragemgmt C API Manual ✨ this one's a lil baby page but it's got main character energy fr.

✨ NAME ✨

lsm_volume_vpd83_get — retrieves the SCSI VPD 0x83 unique ID for the volume 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

const char  * lsm_volume_vpd83_get (lsm_volume *v);

like, that's it. one function, one arg, no cap 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • v — the Volume you wanna retrieve the name for. that's your girl. your volume. hand her over 👑

🦋 VERSION 🦋

1.0

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So what does it actually do? It retrieves the SCSI VPD 0x83 NAA type unique ID for the volume ✨ that's the fancy hardware-level name of your volume, the real one, the one that's like a government name for your disk. iconic honestly.

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

okay listen, this part is important and I need you to actually read it bestie 😭
  • The address returned is valid until lsm_volume gets freed. So the second that volume dips, your string is gone. poof. 💀
  • If you need it to live longer than that, copy the return value. be responsible. get yourself a longer scope.
  • Do NOT free the returned string. seriously. not yours. don't touch. put it down 🙈

🌈 RETURN 🌈

Returns a string 🎉

But — and this is the plot twist — it returns NULL if the argument 'v' is NULL or is not a valid lsm_volume pointer. so vibe check your pointers first, fr fr.

that's the whole page, you ate it, periodt 💅✨

with love from the lsm_volume_vpd83_get girlies, February 2026 🌸🧚
