💫 iscsi_tcp_segment_init_sg(9) — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💫

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (iscsi_tcp_segment_init_sg(9)), and honestly? it's a little short king but it serves. it's literally just here to tell you how to point a segment at a scatterlist entry. that's the whole vibe. slay.

🎀 NAME 🎀

iscsi_tcp_segment_init_sg — init the indicated scatterlist entry, no cap ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void iscsi_tcp_segment_init_sg (struct iscsi_segment *segment , struct
scatterlist *sg , unsigned int offset );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • segment — the buffer object 💖 like, the thing you're setting up, y'know?
  • sg — a scatterlist, bestie. the actual list-of-scattered-bits situation.
  • offset — byte offset into that sg entry 👑 so you're telling it exactly where to start, not just "somewhere in there".

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it do? it sets up the segment so that all the data that comes after this gets copied into the indicated sg entry — at the given offset. that's it. that's the whole plot 🫶 it's giving "point the vibe at the right spot" energy and honestly it ate.

not me writing a whole paragraph for one sentence but like… that's what the page says, so here we are 💅

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/scsi/libiscsi_tcp.c and it's got so many friends, fr fr:

go read those too, they're the squad 😭💜

ngl this one's a short page but every detail is here — don't skip it, the sg entry won't init itself 🧚💀
