💅 fc_lport_enter_ms — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to fc_lport_enter_ms(9), a whole vibe from the Kernel API Manual. this one's short and sweet but she's important, so pay attention 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

fc_lport_enter_ms — management server commands. that's it, that's the whole thing. iconic and concise 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void fc_lport_enter_ms (struct fc_lport *lport , enum fc_lport_state state );

literally just one function, no drama, no frills. returns void so like… don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• lport — the Fibre Channel local port you're registering. yeah, that one, the FC local port. hand her over 💅
• state — the local port state. that's the state, bestie. enum fc_lport_state flavoured, no cap 🌈

like i said. she knows everyone. this is a group chat with 51 members and you probably need to read all of them at some point 🙈

ngl, the SEE ALSO list is longer than the actual page. that's not a bug, that's just libfc being libfc 💀

that's the whole page, bestie! courtesy of the ./drivers/scsi/libfc source, version note October 2026, and the original footer said fc_lport_enter_ms(9) on the right side — so consider this your cute little sign-off: go register that local port, and slay 💜🧚‍♀️⭐
