sas_get_address(9)

🌸 sas_get_address — the kernel API manual, bestie edition 🌸

Okay so you found yourself in section 9 of the kernel API manual (yes, the fancy kernel-only one, not your regular userland pages 💅) and you want the tea on sas_get_address. Pull up a chair, this one's short but it slaps.

---

✨ NAME ✨

sas_get_address — literally just returns the SAS address of the device 💖

Like, that's it. That's the whole job. King behavior tbh 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

u64 sas_get_address (struct scsi_device *sdev );

Note the return type, bestie: a u64. It's giving "big number, no decimals, don't ask questions" energy 🔥

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the scsi device 🫶 your little SCSI friend that you're asking about. Hand it over and it'll tell you its SAS address.

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Returns the SAS address of the scsi device ✨

That's the entire description. No disclaimers, no caveats, no "undefined behavior if you sneeze wrong" — just a clean little getter doing its one (1) job and doing it well. Obsessed, honestly 😭
