💅 scsi_get_sense_info_fld(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one lives in scsi_get_sense_info_fld, and it's genuinely so useful, let me tell you everything 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsi_get_sense_info_fld — get information field from sense data (either fixed or descriptor format) 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool scsi_get_sense_info_fld (const u8 *sense_buffer , int sb_len , u64
*info_out );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • sense_buffer — the byte array of sense data, like the raw tea being spilled ☕
  • sb_len — how many bytes in sense_buffer are actually valid, so we know how far to read 👀
  • info_out — pointer to a 64-bit integer where the 8 or 4 byte information field will be placed if it's found 🎯

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Return value: true if the information field was found, false if it was not found 💀 that's literally the whole vibe check, no cap.

ngl bestie, that's all she wrote for this one — the function is short and iconic, just like that 💅
