πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ fc_scr_fill ✨

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the kernel has lore too πŸ’…) 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 πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

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 🫢), takes two args, and the whole thing is just that one line. iconic minimalism fr fr.


🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • lport β€” -- undescribed -- 😭 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 πŸ’€)
  • fp β€” -- undescribed -- πŸ™ˆ 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 🫢

πŸ¦‹ SEE ALSO πŸ¦‹

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 πŸ’–


and that's the page bestie!! short, sweet, zero described arguments, maximum mystery 🧚
