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.
