_transport_..._phy_control(9)

💅 _transport_..._phy_control(9) — Kernel API Manual energy ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, and today's main character is a function name so long it needs its own zip code: _transport_..._phy_control. Yes the ellipsis is literally part of the title. We don't question it. We simply vibe. 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

_transport_expander_phy_control — expander phy control, periodt. That's the whole name section, no notes.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int _transport_expander_phy_control (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc ,
struct sas_phy *phy , u8 phy_operation );

three args, one int coming back atcha. slay. 💖

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• ioc — the per adapter object, aka the whole adapter's little world. everything lives in here. 🫶
• phy — The sas phy object. capital T, capital S, that's how the manpage says it, so that's how we say it. ✨
• phy_operation — the manpage's entire description of this parameter is literally just ?. not me staring at the source doc like 👀. that's genuinely all it gives us, bestie — no cap, a whole mystery parameter. you're gonna have to go read the code (and hey, ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_transport.c is right there in SEE ALSO 👑).

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 for success, non-zero for failure. short, sweet, iconic. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

fr fr that's it — 0 = good, anything else = something went sideways. no extra lore given, and i'm not about to invent any.
