_transport_e..._manufacture(9)

💅 _transport_expander_report_manufacture — the NAME section, bestie ✨

okay so real talk, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's section 9, and the function is literally called _transport_expander_report_manufacture — say that five times fast, I dare you 😭 — and what it does is obtain SMP report_manufacture. that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int _transport_expander_report_manufacture (struct MPT3SAS_ADAPTER *ioc
, u64 sas_address , struct sas_expander_device *edev , u8 port_id );

like, look at her. four arguments, returns an int, absolute main character energy 👑

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ioc — the per adapter object 🫶 this is your adapter, your home base, your ride-or-die.
• sas_address — the expander sas address ⭐ it's a u64, so it's a big girl number.
• edev — the struct sas_expander_device object 🎀 the actual expander device we're talking about.
• port_id — Port ID number 🔥 a u8, tiny but mighty.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕ — this function fills in the sas_expander_device object when an SMP port is created. that's literally the whole job. it's giving "glow-up moment for a struct" ✨ like bestie walks in, fills in the fields, and leaves. iconic behaviour, honestly.

🌈 RETURN 🌈

• 0 — success, we ate 💅
• non-zero — failure, and we do NOT talk about it 🙈

fr fr, check the return value. non-zero means something went sideways and you should probably not just keep vibing.
