fc_scr_fill(9)
β¨ fc_scr_fill β¨
okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too π
) and it's about fc_scr_fill, which literally just fills in a scr request frame. that's it. that's the whole job. she's a one-task queen π
π SYNOPSIS π
void fc_scr_fill (struct fc_lport *lport , struct fc_frame *fp );
returns nothing (void, so don't go looking for a return value bestie, there isn't one π«Ά), takes two args, and the whole thing is just that one line. iconic minimalism fr fr.
πΈ ARGUMENTS πΈ
lportβ-- undescribed --π the docs literally left her blank. no description. nothing. she's a mystery, a main character with no backstory. (the source material gives us nothing more, so i'm not gonna make things up π)fpβ-- undescribed --π same situation. also undescribed. also a vibe. also a mystery.
ngl if you were hoping for deep lore on these two, the page is giving you nothing and i refuse to invent facts about kernel internals just to fill the silence π«Ά
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
kernel file ./drivers/scsi/libfc/fc_encode.h β that's where the real ones live. and here's the whole friend group, all of them _fill girlies doing the exact same kind of work:

like, fc_scr_fill is not alone in this world and that's genuinely so comforting π
and that's the page bestie!! short, sweet, zero described arguments, maximum mystery π§
sign-off szn: this lil gem lives in ./drivers/scsi/libfc, dated October 2026, and it's fc_scr_fill(9) all the way down. slay, bye!! πβπ
