scsi_set_medium_removal(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the scsi_set_medium_removal(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is literally about sending a command to allow or prevent medium removal. no cap, it's giving “let the medium stay or let it go” energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int scsi_set_medium_removal (struct scsi_device *sdev , char state );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sdev — the target scsi device 👑
• state — the removal state to set (prevent or allow) 🎀

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 if sdev is not removable or not lockable or successful. yes, all three of those can land here, bestie 😌
• non-0 is a SCSI result code if > 0 or kernel error code if < 0 — so the sign is doing important main character work 💀
• Sets sdev->locked to the new state on success. periodt. 🔒✨
