beiscsi_ep_connect(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 beiscsi_ep_connect — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 🎀

Okay so listen. This one lives in the kernel API manual (section 9, we love a section 9 moment) and it's literally called beiscsi_ep_connect — yes, the whole entire name, we're not abbreviating, it's giving main character energy. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

beiscsi_ep_connect — ask the chip to create a TCP Conn. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iscsi_endpoint * beiscsi_ep_connect (struct Scsi_Host *shost ,
struct sockaddr *dst_addr , int non_blocking );

Copy that exactly, no cap. 🫶

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • shost — a pointer to the scsi_host structure. Just a pointer, minding its own business. ✨
  • dst_addr — the IP address of the Target. That's where we're headed, bestie. 🎯
  • non_blocking — blocking or non-blocking call. Your choice, your destiny, your call to make. 🙈

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea: this routine does two things, in order, and the order matters. 🍓

  1. First it asks the chip to create a connection.
  2. Then it allocates an EP.

That's the whole flow. Chip first, EP second, iconic behavior honestly. 👑

Lowkey the best part of any manpage, let's go:

And the whole friend group, everyone's invited:

Heads up bestie: everything you just read is straight from the manual — no extras, no invented lore. 🫶

And that's a wrap! This page ships from ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi and it's dated October 2026. Mwah. 💋 No notes. 💖✨🎀
