💖 CONSTANTS 💖

each one is a little era the local port goes through, iykyk 💅

• LPORT_ST_DISABLED — Disabled. literally off, bestie.
• LPORT_ST_FLOGI — Fabric login (FLOGI) sent. that FLOGI went out, periodt.
• LPORT_ST_DNS — Waiting for name server remote port to become ready. highkey just chilling until the name server rport is good to go.
• LPORT_ST_RNN_ID — Register port name by ID (RNN_ID) sent. the RNN_ID got sent, no cap.
• LPORT_ST_RSNN_NN — Waiting for host symbolic node name. lowkey waiting on that symbolic node name from the host.
• LPORT_ST_RSPN_ID — Waiting for host symbolic port name. same vibe but for the port name, fr fr.
• LPORT_ST_RFT_ID — Register Fibre Channel types by ID (RFT_ID) sent. RFT_ID is out there, slay.
• LPORT_ST_RFF_ID — Register FC-4 Features by ID (RFF_ID) sent. RFF_ID sent, iconic.
• LPORT_ST_FDMI — Waiting for mgmt server rport to become ready. waiting on the mgmt server rport to be ready, ngl.
• LPORT_ST_RHBA — Register HBA. registering the HBA, ate.
• LPORT_ST_RPA — Register Port Attributes. port attributes getting registered, periodt.
• LPORT_ST_DHBA — Deregister HBA. bye-bye HBA registration 👋
• LPORT_ST_DPRT — Deregister Port. port deregistration era.
• LPORT_ST_SCR — State Change Register (SCR) sent. SCR sent, no cap.
• LPORT_ST_READY — Ready for use. the moment we've all been waiting for 💖
• LPORT_ST_LOGO — Local port logout (LOGO) sent. LOGO sent, it's giving goodbye.
• LPORT_ST_RESET — Local port reset. resetting the local port, main character energy.

bestie if you're digging into libfc port states, you're already iconic. just remember: every state matters, even the reset one 💀✨
