beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp(9)

💅 beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp ✨

okay so first things first, bestie: this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and the star of the show is beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp(9) — say that five times fast, iykyk 😭 it's literally the little guy whose whole job is spilling the driver's name and version. iconic behavior honestly.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp — display the driver Name and Version, periodt 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ssize_t beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp (struct device *dev , struct
device_attribute *attr , char *buf );

she takes three args and gives you back an ssize_t, no cap 🫶

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• dev — ptr to device, not used. literally just vibing in the parameter list, she's not doing anything here 🙈
• attr — device attribute, not used either. also just there for the aesthetic ✨
• buf — this one's the main character 👑 it contains the formatted text of the driver name and version, so like, the actual content lives here 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

returns the size of the formatted string. that's it, that's the whole plot — she formats the name-and-version text into buf and then hands you back how big that string is. short king behavior, but she ate 🔥

ngl bestie, half these args are "not used" and I respect the honesty so much 😭 the kernel said "we keep them for the signature" and honestly? valid.

mwah 💋 that's the whole page! this little gem lives over in ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi, it's dated October 2026, and yes she's filed under beiscsi_drvr_ver_disp(9) — go off, queen 🎀🦋💖
