✨ scsi_sense_desc_find(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for scsi_sense_desc_find(9) — we're diving into descriptor sense data and finding descriptor types 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

scsi_sense_desc_find — search for a given descriptor type in descriptor sense data format.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

const u8 * scsi_sense_desc_find (const u8 * sense_buffer , int sb_len ,
       int desc_type );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sense_buffer — byte array of descriptor format sense data.
• sb_len — number of valid bytes in sense_buffer.
• desc_type — value of descriptor type to find (e.g. 0 -> information).

💖 NOTES 💖

only valid when sense data is in descriptor format

Return value: pointer to start of (first) descriptor if found else NULL.
