mptsas_add_end_device(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💫 NAME 💫

mptsas_add_end_device — bestie, this is the one that announces a brand-new end device to the sas transport layer 🎀 like it's walking into the group chat and going "hi everyone, meet my new friend"

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int mptsas_add_end_device (MPT_ADAPTER *ioc , struct mptsas_phyinfo
       *phy_info );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • ioc — a pointer to the MPT_ADAPTER structure. that's the whole adapter vibe, the main character of this story 👑
  • phy_info — this bad boy describes the attached device. it's the ~lore drop~, it tells you what's actually hanging off there 🌸

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so the whole thing is literally just a return value situation, no cap:

  • 0 → success 💖 (we ate, we slayed, the device got reported)
  • 1 → failure 😭 (it's giving flop, try again)

that's it, that's the function. lowkey iconic of it honestly.

ngl, it's a very short description in the original, so don't go reading extra behaviour into it — this little number just reports the outcome and nothing more 💅
