qla2x00_clea...m_protection(9)

💅 NAME

okay so bestie, real talk: this page is literally titled qla2x00_clea...m_protection(9) — yes, that's the truncated version, the man page really does ship with the name cut off mid-word like it got distracted mid-text 😭 — and it lives in the Kernel API Manual, section 9.

And the NAME section itself? It's just the function name followed by a lonely little dash with absolutely nothing after it. No description. No summary. Iconic minimalist behaviour, honestly. 🎀

• qla2x00_clear_nvram_protection — and that's it, that's the whole NAME entry. The dash after it is just vibing there with no explanation. We respect it. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the signature, copy it exactly, no cap:

int qla2x00_clear_nvram_protection (struct qla_hw_data *ha );

so it's giving: returns an int 👑, takes exactly one argument, and that argument is a pointer to a struct qla_hw_data named ha. That's the whole vibe.

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

one argument bestie, just one, we love a low-maintenance function:

• ha — the HA context 🦋. Yeah, that's the entire description the original gives us: "HA context". Short, sweet, mysteriously unbothered. Take it as-is 💅

and that's the whole page, bestie — short, chaotic, and fully committed to the bit 🌸

sign-off time: this one comes from ./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx, dated October 2026, and the page title on the way out is the same gloriously truncated qla2x00_clea...m_protection(9) 🧚💜
