✨ NAME ✨

host_sas_address_show — sas address, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ssize_t host_sas_address_show (struct device *cdev , struct device_attribute *attr , char *buf );

like literally that's the signature, don't @ me 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • cdev — pointer to embedded class device. that's the whole description and honestly? slay, we love a concise king 👑
  • attr — ? … yeah. the manpage literally just says ? and ngl I respect the honesty so much 😭 that's the energy of someone who was gonna come back and fill it in and then. did not.
  • buf — the buffer returned. it's giving "the thing you get back" 💜

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This is the controller sas address ✨

It's a sysfs 'read-only' shost attribute. so like, you can look, but do not touch — read-only is read-only, no cap 🙈

💀 SEE ALSO 💀

The kernel file is ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_ctl.c, and okay prepare yourself because this list is long long — but every single one of these is invited to the party 🫶

like?? eighty-something entries?? someone was in a MOOD when they wrote this one 🔥

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ sign-off time: this came from ./drivers/scsi/mpt3sas, dated October 2026, and it's filed under host_sas_address_show(9) — periodt 🎀🦋
