💅 bnx2i_conn_create(9) — Kernel API Manual

okay bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual, section 9 🎀 this is bnx2i_conn_create(9) and she's literally the plug for making a brand-new iSCSI connection instance. no cap.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2i_conn_create — create iscsi connection instance 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iscsi_cls_conn * bnx2i_conn_create (struct iscsi_cls_session
*cls_session , uint32_t cid );

so she takes two things and hands you back a struct iscsi_cls_conn *, periodt 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• cls_session — a pointer to the iscsi cls session, like, the session this connection belongs to 💖
• cid — the iscsi cid, as per rfc 🧚 and lowkey important: this is not NX2's CID terminology, so don't get it twisted 🙈

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

She creates a new iSCSI connection instance for a given session. that's the whole vibe ✨ new connection, fresh out the box, attached to the session you passed in. slay.
