SendIocInit(9)

💖 SendIocInit(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, we're being fancy today — and today's main character is SendIocInit, from that kernel file ./drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.c. buckle up 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

SendIocInit — literally just sends an IOCInit request over to the MPT adapter. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int SendIocInit (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , int sleepFlag );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• ioc — a pointer to the MPT_ADAPTER structure. yeah. the adapter. the whole thing. 💅
• sleepFlag — tells you whether the process can sleep or not. nap permissions, basically 😴

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what it does: it sends IOCInit, and right after that it sends PortEnable, and together those two little steps bring the IOC up to the OPERATIONAL state. glow-up complete, she's functional ✨👑

and the returns? 0 for success, non-zero for failure. no cap. 🔥
