💅 qla2x00_get_...manufacturer(9) 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's about the cutest little helper in the qla2xxx flash toolbox — she just peeks at your flash chip and tells you who made it. no cap, that's the whole job. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

qla2x00_get_flash_manufacturer — literally just reads the manufacturer ID off the flash chip. that's it, that's the function, she's an icon and she knows it 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void qla2x00_get_flash_manufacturer (struct qla_hw_data *ha , uint8_t
*man_id , uint8_t *flash_id );

notice how she returns void? yeah she doesn't hand you back a value, she fills in your pointers. main character energy tbh — she's not returning, she's writing ✨ into your buffers ✨

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ha — the host adapter 🎀 like, the whole hardware situation. this is your entry ticket to the party.
• man_id — Flash manufacturer ID 💖 you pass in a uint8_t * and she drops the manufacturer ID right there for you.
• flash_id — Flash ID 🌈 again with the uint8_t *, and this one gets the flash ID itself.

two out-params, zero return value. she's giving "I don't answer questions, I leave notes" 😭

okay that's the whole page bestie, no gatekeeping, no cap 💜 this one comes from the <purple>./drivers/scsi/qla2xxx</purple> corner of the kernel and it's dated <cyan>October 2026</cyan> — so yeah, she's recent, she's fresh, she ate and left no crumbs 👑✨ bye bestie, go read your flash ID 🎀
