ata_scsi_pass_thru(9)

okay bestie, this is ata_scsi_pass_thru(9) from the Kernel API Manual 💖 and she is literally here to convert an ATA pass-thru CDB into a taskfile. No cap.

✨ NAME ✨

ata_scsi_pass_thru — convert ATA pass-thru CDB to taskfile. That’s the whole name vibe, periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

unsigned int ata_scsi_pass_thru (struct ata_queued_cmd *qc );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• qc — the command structure that’s getting initialized. That’s it, bestie.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the tea: this handles either 12, 16, or 32-byte versions of the CDB. All three sizes are in the group chat. 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

Zero on success, non-zero on failure. Short and iconic.
