SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lHBAAPI [ library... ]
#include <hbaapi.h>
HBA_HANDLE HBA_OpenAdapter(char *adaptername);
HBA_STATUS HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN(HBA_HANDLE *handle, HBA_WWN wwn);
void HBA_CloseAdapter(HBA_HANDLE handle);

adaptername the name of the adapter to open, as returned by HBA_GetAdapterName(3HBAAPI)
handle
HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN()
a pointer to an HBA_HANDLE
HBA_CloseAdapter()
the open handle of the adapter to close, as returned by HBA_OpenAdapter(3HBAAPI)
wwn the WWN to match the Node WWN or Port WWN of the HBA to open
DESCRIPTION
The HBA_OpenAdapter() function opens the adapter specified by adaptername and returns a handle used for subsequent operations on the HBA.
The HBA_OpenAdapterByWWN() function opens a handle to the HBA whose Node or Port WWN matches the wwn argument.
The HBA_CloseAdapter() function closes the open handle.
RETURN VALUES
