scsi_find_sense_descr(9F)

Name

scsi_find_sense_descr - find descriptor in SCSI sense data

Synopsis

#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

uint8_t *scsi_find_sense_descr(uint8_t *sense_buffer, int sense_buf_len,
     int req_descr_type);

Interface Level

Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

Parameters

sense_buffer

Pointer to a buffer containing SCSI descriptor sense data. The data is expected in wire format starting at the response code.

sense_buf_len

Integer that contains the length of sense buffer in bytes.

req_descr_type

Integer that contains the descriptor type value for the desired sense descriptor.

Description

The scsi_find_sense_descr() function is used to obtain a pointer to a specific descriptor type, specified by req_descr_type, within a descriptor sense buffer. Before returning the pointer, scsi_find_sense_descr() verifies that the entire descriptor is present based on the length provided in sense_buf_len.

Any value for req_descr_type can be requested. The following descriptor types are already defined:

#define DESCR_INFORMATION         0x00
#define DESCR_COMMAND_SPECIFIC    0x01
#define DESCR_SENSE_KEY_SPECIFIC  0x02
#define DESCR_FRU                 0x03
#define DESCR_STREAM_COMMANDS     0x04
#define DESCR_BLOCK_COMMANDS      0x05
#define DESCR_OSD_OID             0x06
#define DESCR_OSD_RESP_INTEGRITY  0x07
#define DESCR_OSD_ATTR_ID         0x08

Drivers should use scsi_validate_sense(9F) to ensure that the sense buffer contains valid descriptor sense data.

Return Values

The scsi_find_sense_descr() function returns a pointer to a sense descriptor of the requested type if a descriptor of that type exists. If no such descriptor exists, scsi_find_sense_descr() returns NULL.

Context

The scsi_find_sense_descr() function can be called from user or interrupt context.
