NAME

       hbaapi - Fibre Channel Storage Network Industry Association Host Bus Adapter Application Programming Interface (FC SNIA HBA API)

DESCRIPTION

       The  Common  HBA  API  provides a consistent HBA standard interface for accessing information in a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN)
       that would be implemented across vendors as a standard 'C' API supported by vendor specific library instances.

       This API library is thread-safe, but threads should not be cancelled when execution is in the API.

       The following functions are available in the API for managing a Fibre Channel HBA.  This API would be exposed to upper  level  applications
       to control SAN functionality.

       Please refer to for details on structures used.
