🌸 NAME 🌸

qla24xx_dif_start_scsi — Send a SCSI command to the ISP

like... that's it. that's the whole lore. main character energy fr fr 🦋

---

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

int qla24xx_dif_start_scsi (srb_t *sp );

so it returns an int, takes one srb_t * pointing at sp, and that's the entire vibe check. no cap. 💜

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• sp — the command you're sending to the ISP. that's your girl. that's the payload. 💖

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

lowkey the whole description is a single serve and it EATS:

Returns non-zero if a failure occurred, else zero.

so like — non-zero means something went wrong 😭, zero means you're slaying ✨. that's the return contract, bestie, and it's giving very much "check the return value, please, i'm begging." 🙈
