scsi_poll(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers scsi_poll(9F)NAME
scsi_poll - run a polled SCSI command on behalf of a target driver
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>
int scsi_poll(struct scsi_pkt *pkt);
INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).
PARAMETERS
pkt Pointer to the scsi_pkt(9S) structure.
DESCRIPTION
scsi_poll() requests the host adapter driver to run a polled command. Unlike scsi_transport(9F) which runs commands asynchronously,
scsi_poll() runs commands to completion before returning. If the pkt_time member of pkt is 0, the value of pkt_time is defaulted to
SCSI_POLL_TIMEOUT to prevent an indefinite hang of the system.
RETURN VALUES
scsi_poll() returns:
0 command completed successfully.
-1 command failed.
CONTEXT
scsi_poll() can be called from user or interrupt level. This function should not be called when the caller is executing timeout(9F) in the
context of a thread.
SEE ALSO makecom(9F), scsi_transport(9F), scsi_pkt(9S)
Writing Device Drivers
WARNINGS
Since scsi_poll() runs commands to completion before returning, it may require more time than is desirable when called from interrupt con-
text. Therefore, calling scsi_poll from interrupt context is not recommended.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat

-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.
This programs says:
In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.
See the screenshot attached.

I don't know how to start this but here goes.
I've been "using" Linux for over 10 years, possibly more and I still feel like I'm nowhere

Hi all, (mainly Neo)...
I keep noticing that the SQRT code I wrote recently for a POSIX shell keeps appearing, (the green colour sticks out like a sore thumb).
So I decided to take a look on Google.
Guess what?
