💅 zfcp_fsf_send_els 💅

okay so bestie, we're in the kernel API manual — this is zfcp_fsf_send_els, and it's your girl for kicking off an ELS command (that's FC-FS, iykyk) ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

zfcp_fsf_send_els — no cap, this is the one that initiates an ELS command (FC-FS) 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int zfcp_fsf_send_els (struct zfcp_adapter *adapter , u32 d_id , struct
zfcp_fsf_ct_els *els , unsigned int timeout );

it's giving "returns an int" and takes four args, and honestly? iconic 🫶

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • adapter — a pointer to the zfcp adapter 🦋 like, the actual adapter object, hand it over
  • d_id — the N_Port_ID you wanna send the ELS to 💌 that's your destination, periodt
  • els — a pointer to struct zfcp_fsf_ct_els that's carrying all the data for the ELS command 🎀 the payload, the whole vibe
  • timeout — the timeout that the hardware should use, and a later software timeout ⭐ yes it's both, that's the way that it is, two-for-one

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥
