🌸 NAME 🌸

fc_fcp_init — initialize the FCP layer for a local port 💅

like, it's the "hey bestie wake up, the exchange layer needs to exist" moment fr fr.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int fc_fcp_init (struct fc_lport *lport );

that's it. that's the whole call. she's returning an int and she's taking exactly one struct fc_lport * and she is not interested in anything else 🫶

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• lport — the local port you're initializing the exchange layer for. your main character struct, your whole vibe, the port in question 💖
