SCU_EVENT_TYPE(9)
π SCU_EVENT_TYPE(9) β the kernel API manual, but make it make sense
okay so bestie, quick vibe check: this is a section 9 kernel API page. It lives in the Kernel API Manual, which is exactly the energy we're bringing today. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
SCU_EVENT_TYPE β literally the whole name, that's it, that's the entry. No fancy subtitle. Iconic, minimal, mysterious. π
π SYNOPSIS π
SCU_EVENT_TYPE (type );
that's the whole call. one argument. one job. no cap. π«Ά
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
typeβ genuinely marked-- undescribed --in the source, so likeβ¦ yeah π the docs said nothing. That's the whole description. She's giving mystery, she's giving unspecified, she's giving "figure it out yourself bestie."
ngl I'm not gonna invent lore for this one β if the page says-- undescribed --, then-- undescribed --is what you get. I don't make the rules. π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Okay so here's what this macro actually does, and it is cute: it constructs an SCU event type from the type value. That's the flex. You hand it a type value, it hands you back an SCU event type. lowkey simple. highkey essential. π
π SEE ALSO π
the whole friend group, plus where to find them:
- Kernel file
./drivers/scsi/isci/scu_event_codes.hβ yes, that's a real path, go look at it π SCU_EVENT_SPECIFIC(9)SCU_EVENT_MESSAGE(9)scu_get_event_type(9)scu_get_event_specifier(9)scu_get_event_code(9)
like, literally go read all of them, they're all part of the same little SCU event squad and they all ate. π₯
sign-off time, bestie π
this page comes to you from ./drivers/scsi/isci and it's dated October 2026 β future-coded, mysterious, and still shipping. mwah π talk soon, go write some kernel code, and remember: the type is unspecified but your potential is not. π§π
