💅 qla24xx_start_scsi — the kernel API manual, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the qla24xx_start_scsi(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's a tiny one, but she's important. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

qla24xx_start_scsi — literally just "Send a SCSI command to the ISP". that's the whole vibe. short, sweet, iconic. 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int qla24xx_start_scsi (srb_t *sp );

yes bestie, that's it. one function, one arg, one int coming back at you. no cap. 💜

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• sp — the command you're sending off to the ISP. that's it, that's the whole parameter. main character energy for real. ✨

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so here's the tea ☕ — the description is literally one line and we're keeping it exactly:

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

that's the whole deal, fr fr. non-zero = something went sideways 😭, zero = you're slaying 💅. don't overthink it.
