✨ NAME ✨

scsi_set_sense_information — set the information field in a formatted sense data buffer 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the scsi_set_sense_information(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're in kernel-API group-chat territory now 🫶

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int scsi_set_sense_information (u8 *buf , int buf_len , u64 info );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• buf — where to build sense data. like, this is the spot where the sense data gets built, no cap 📍
• buf_len — buffer length. the length of that buffer, periodt 📏
• info — 64-bit information value to be set. the 64-bit info value you're setting, literally ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the return value is the main-character detail here: 0 on success, or -EINVAL for an invalid sense buffer length 😭 that's the whole vibe check for this one.
