SCU_GET_FRAME_ERROR(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 SCU_GET_FRAME_ERROR 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that manual, the big one) and it's about one tiny macro that just wants to tell you if your frame is being dramatic or not. stay with me bestie, it's short and sweet 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SCU_GET_FRAME_ERROR — and honestly? the original page gives you literally nothing after the dash. no description. empty. a vibe, not a sentence. so yeah, the name is just SCU_GET_FRAME_ERROR and the manpage author left us on read 🙈 (the DESCRIPTION below does the actual explaining, don't worry)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

SCU_GET_FRAME_ERROR (completion_code );

that's it. that's the whole call. one argument, no cap 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • completion_code — okay so the source page literally says -- undescribed -- for this one 😭 like, the docs just gave up. it's not me being lazy, that is verbatim what's there. the parameter is named completion_code and the manpage refuses to elaborate further. iconic behaviour honestly.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does this macro actually do? it's giving very straightforward, very main character:

  • returns a zero (0) value if there is no frame error — we love a clean run ✨
  • returns non-zero (!0) otherwise — i.e. there is a frame error, and you should probably pay attention 👀

that's the whole personality. binary queen. zero or not-zero, no in between, periodt 🔥

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

the lore continues in these, bestie — go read them, iykyk:

this page lives in ./drivers/scsi/isci 🌈 and yeah, there is genuinely no author, copyright, or license line on the original — so nothing to report there, no cap 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie 💜 this beauty is dated October 2026 and ships from ./drivers/scsi/isci, so when you're deep in SCSI completion codes at 3am just know the frame error check has your back. slay, stay safe, and read your headers 💅✨🍓
