📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 qla4xxx_get_chap_index ✨

So bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, iykyk) — section 9, kernel-space vibes only. Buckle up 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

qla4xxx_get_chap_index — literally just: get the chap index, given a username and a secret. That's it. That's the whole job. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int qla4xxx_get_chap_index (struct scsi_qla_host *ha , char *username ,
       char *password , int bidi , uint16_t *chap_index );

Yes she returns an int, yes she takes five args, no we're not scared. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ha — pointer to the adapter structure. Like, the actual adapter, your main character 🌟
  • username — the CHAP username we're out here searching for 🔍
  • password — the CHAP password we're searching for too (they go together, obvi) 🔐
  • bidi — is this a BIDI CHAP?? yes/no, that's the question 💀
  • chap_index — the CHAP index that gets returned. She's the output girlie 👑

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Okay so here's the tea ☕: it matches the username and password inside the chap_list, and returns the index if a match is found. Slay, easy.

But if a match is not found? Not me just adding the entry into FLASH 😭 — and then it returns the index at which that entry got written in the FLASH. So either way you're walking away with an index. Iconic behaviour, fr fr. 🔥
