sci_port_get_properties(9)

💅 sci_port_get_properties(9) — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the sci_port_get_properties(9) page 🫶 this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly? she's a little fetch quest that actually gives you the goods ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sci_port_get_properties — this method simply returns the properties regarding the port, such as: physical index, protocols, sas address, etc. 👑 like, the whole lil' identity card of a port, no cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

enum sci_status sci_port_get_properties (struct isci_port *iport ,
       struct sci_port_properties *prop );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• iport — this parameter specifies the port for which to retrieve the physical index. it's giving "who are we even talking about" energy 💅
• prop — This parameter specifies the properties structure into which to copy the requested information. this is the cute lil' container the tea gets poured into 🍓

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Indicate if the user specified a valid port. 💖

Then the statuses do the talking:

• <green>SCI_SUCCESS</green> — This value is returned if the specified port was valid. slay, we ate, everything worked ✨
• <red>SCI_FAILURE_INVALID_PORT</red> — This value is returned if the specified port is not valid.

⚠️ important bestie: When this value is returned, no data is copied to the properties output parameter. like, prop stays exactly as it was — don't be out here reading it expecting fresh info, ok? 😭🙈
