qla2x00_sns_gpn_id(9)

✨ qla2x00_sns_gpn_id — the Kernel API Manual, section (9) ✨

Okay bestie, gather round, because we're reading a real kernel page today — qla2x00_sns_gpn_id(9), straight out of the Kernel API Manual. Yes, section (9). No, it's not a movie. It's better. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla2x00_sns_gpn_id — the SNS Get Port Name (GPN_ID) query. That's it, that's the whole name. Short, sweet, does exactly what it says on the tin. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int qla2x00_sns_gpn_id (scsi_qla_host_t *vha , sw_info_t *list );

Look at that signature. Two args, returns an int. Iconic behavior, no notes. ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vha — the HA context, aka the host adapter's whole situation. You're handing it over and trusting the vibes. 🫶
• list — the switch info entries you wanna populate. It's giving "fill me in, I need the tea." ☕

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the deal, bestie: this command uses the old Exectute SNS Command mailbox routine. Like, the old one. Retro. Vintage. It has main character energy from a previous era. 🕰️

And when it's done? It returns 0 on success. That's the whole success story. 0. Beautiful. No cap. 🔥

Heads up: the page says nothing else about return values, so we're not gonna invent any. We report, we don't speculate. 💀
