Kernel Functions for Drivers            scsi_find_sense_descr(9F)



NAME
     scsi_find_sense_descr - find descriptor in SCSI sense data

SYNOPSIS
     #include 



     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  pro-
     vided 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

Kernel Functions for Drivers            scsi_find_sense_descr(9F)



     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.
