📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_get_tgtdev_by_perst_id — a Kernel API Manual moment 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual for mpi3mr_get_..._by_perst_id(9) — yes the header is literally abbreviated like that, it's giving "we ran out of name space" energy and honestly? iconic. anyway, this one's a tiny lil accessor function and it's gonna take like two seconds, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_get_tgtdev_by_perst_id — Get tgtdev from persistent ID 💖

like. the whole vibe. you give it a persistent ID, you get a target device back. no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct mpi3mr_tgt_dev * mpi3mr_get_tgtdev_by_perst_id (struct mpi3mr_ioc
*mrioc , u16 persist_id );

two args, one return, zero drama. slay.

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • mrioc — the adapter instance reference 🎀 your main character struct, the whole controller basically. she's the context, she's the moment.
  • persist_id — the Persistent ID ⭐ a u16, not a u32, not a u64, just a lil u16. it's the ID that persists. iykyk.

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so it's an accessor — a getter, a little looker-upper — whose whole job is to retrieve the target device from the Persistent ID 💅 she doesn't do the heavy lifting, she just hands you the pointer, and that's valid.

also, ngl, the manpage adds one more thing at the end: Lock version 🔒 — so yeah, heads up that this is the locking-flavored one. keep that in mind before you go grabbing references all willy-nilly, bestie.

👑 RETURN 👑

Target device reference. that's it. that's the tea 🍓 (a struct mpi3mr_tgt_dev *, per the synopsis — go get your thing, queen.)

not me listing all of those 💀 but a manpage is a manpage and we keep EVERY reference, fr fr. note that __mpi3mr_get_tgtdev_by_perst_id(9) is right there in the list — the double-underscore sibling, the prequel. she exists too 👀
