💅 mptsas_add_d...t_starget_ir(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the manual name, and yes it's giving very "ancient scrolls but make it cute." Today's main character is mptsas_add_d...t_starget_ir, and honestly? She's a helper function with a heart of gold. 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

mptsas_add_device_component_starget_ir — she handles Integrated RAID, and what she does is add each individual device to the list. That's it, that's the whole job. Iconic, focused, no notes. 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mptsas_add_device_component_starget_ir (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , struct scsi_target *starget );

returns nothing (void, so she's not here to give you a value back, she's here to do the thing), and lowkey the way she takes exactly two arguments and minds her business? chef's kiss. 😭

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ioc — a pointer to the MPT_ADAPTER structure. your adapter bestie. she needs to know which one we're talking about. ✨
• starget — the SCSI target for this SCSI device. literally the target in question, the one getting added to the list. no cap. 🎯

heads up bestie: every one of those references is a (9) manpage section situation and the file path above is literal. don't go typo-ing them, iykyk. 💀

and that's the whole page!! short, sweet, and to the point — just like her. 💖
