mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver — ok so this is the kernel API manual page for it, bestie

Bestie. Hi. You're looking at mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver, a little function that lives in the kernel, and honestly? It's giving "quiet luxury." It just... tells you what firmware your controller is running. That's it. That's the whole gig. And yet we love her. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver — display controller fw package version 💫

Like, it retrieves and prints the firmware package version for the controller. Simple. Elegant. Iconic, honestly.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver (struct mpi3mr_ioc *mrioc );

Note the return type is int — she gives you a status code back, she's not just doing vibes-only output. Keep that in mind. 👑

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • mrioc — the Adapter reference, i.e. your pointer to the struct mpi3mr_ioc for the controller you're curious about. This is your main character. Everything happens through her. 🫶

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So the way this works: mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver goes and retrieves the firmware package version from the component image header of the controller flash, and then it displays it. 📣

That's the full pipeline, no cap. Flash → component image header → version → printed for your eyeballs. She's not doing extra credit, she's doing exactly what the name says, and honestly? Respect. Periodt. 💅

⭐ RETURN ⭐

  • 0 on success — slay, everything worked, version acquired. ✅
  • non-zero on failure — something went sideways, and you get a non-zero value back instead. Not a vibe, but at least she tells you. 😭

💜 SEE ALSO 💜

Okay so this is the part where I have to tell you she runs with a whole squad. Like, this function is in the kernel file ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_fw.c, and the friend group is enormous. Get comfy. 🍓

Yeah. That's the whole group chat. 💀 Not me having to type all of those out — but fr fr, every single one of them is in the SEE ALSO, so here you go, bestie. I would never skip one of her friends. 🙈

Also note: the kernel file path listed up top is ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr/mpi3mr_fw.c — that's where this whole thing lives. Iykyk. 🔥

🧚 a lil sign-off 🧚

This little beauty comes to you from ./drivers/scsi/mpi3mr, dated October 2026, and it's filed under the mpi3mr_print_pkg_ver(9) manual page. Go forth and know your firmware package version, queen. 👑💖✨
