sas_discover_end_dev(9)

💅 NAME 💅

sas_discover_end_dev — the little function that goes and discovers an end device (SSP, etc.) ✨

so like. real talk. this manpage is from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name bestie, we're in kernel-API-land, not section 1, not section 8, the fancy 9 section 👑) and the function itself is sas_discover_end_dev. it discovers end devices. SSP and friends. that's the whole vibe check 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int sas_discover_end_dev (struct domain_device *dev );

literally copy it exactly, spaces and all, don't @ me 😭

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — pointer to the domain device of interest 🫶 that's it. that's the whole arg list. one (1) pointer, and it's the device you're curious about. main character energy honestly.

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

okay so here's the thing. the entire description is:

See comment in sas_discover_sata.

that's it. that's the description. the docs said "go read the comment in sas_discover_sata" and honestly? iconic. no notes. it's giving "the real documentation was the comments we made along the way" 💀

so yeah — if you want the actual details of what this does, the manpage is pointing you at the comment inside sas_discover_sata. go find it. iykyk 🔥

tiny lil heads up: this page is literally a signpost. it does not explain the behaviour itself — it tells you to check the comment in sas_discover_sata. don't expect more than that from it, and definitely don't invent details. periodt 💅
