beiscsi_get_cid(9)

💖 beiscsi_get_cid(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and the star of the show is beiscsi_get_cid — yes, lowercase, yes, it's a function, yes, we're doing this. 🦋

It's a 9 manpage too (that's the kernel section, iykyk), so put your big-girl kernel goggles on. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

beiscsi_get_cid — Allocate a cid 🎀

That's it. That's the whole job. It gives you a cid. Iconic, lowkey minimal, we love a function with a clear purpose fr fr.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int beiscsi_get_cid (struct beiscsi_hba *phba );

So it returns an int (return value girlie, we'll take it), takes exactly one arg, and no cap that's the entire signature. Slay. 💅

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• phba — the phba instance. 🫶 That's the one pointer it wants, it's the struct beiscsi_hba * up in the synopsis, and that's literally all it asks for. Hand it over and let the function cook.

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

Bestie, the full squad. This is the group chat and everybody's here 👑 — also the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi/be_iscsi.c if you wanna go read the source like the main character you are:

ngl, this one's short and sweet — one function, one arg, one job. But every single one of those SEE ALSO entries is real and waiting for you, so don't skip the homework. 😭

💜 okay bye bestie, this page came from ./drivers/scsi/be2iscsi, and it's dated October 2026 — go forth and allocate those cids responsibly, mwah 💜
