🌸 NAME 🌸

lpfc_vmid_cmd — literally builds and sends a FDMI cmd to the specified NPort. that's the whole gig. no cap 🫶

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int lpfc_vmid_cmd (struct lpfc_vport *vport , int cmdcode , struct
lpfc_vmid *vmid );

like yes, it returns an int, and yes it takes three things. we'll get to those 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vport — pointer to a host virtual N_Port data structure. it's giving "the port in question" energy 💜
• cmdcode — application server command code to send. this is the actual instruction you're yeeting out there 🔥
• vmid — pointer to vmid info structure. the info, the lore, the details 🌈

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so what does it actually do? it builds and sends a FDMI command using the CT subsystem. that's it, that's the vibe check — build it, send it, slay 💅
