NAME

       tran_getcap, tran_setcap - get/set SCSI transport capability

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/scsi/scsi.h>

       int prefixtran_getcap(struct scsi_address *ap, char *cap, int whom);

       int prefixtran_setcap(struct scsi_address *ap, char *cap, int value, int whom);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris architecture specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS

       ap	Pointer to the scsi_address(9S) structure.

       cap	Pointer to the string capability identifier.

       value	Defines the new state of the capability.

       whom	Specifies whether all targets or only the specified target is affected.

DESCRIPTION

       The  tran_getcap()  and	tran_setcap() vectors in the scsi_hba_tran(9S) structure must be initialized during the HBA driver's attach(9E) to
       point to HBA entry points to be called when a target driver calls scsi_ifgetcap(9F) and scsi_ifsetcap(9F).

       tran_getcap() is called to get the current value of a capability specific to features provided by the HBA hardware or driver.  The name	of
       the capability cap is the NULL terminated capability string.

       If  whom  is  non-zero,	the  request  is for the current value of the capability defined for the target specified by the  scsi_address(9S)
       structure pointed to by ap; if whom is 0, all targets are affected; else, the target specified by the scsi_address structure pointed to	by
       ap is affected.

       tran_setcap() is called to set the value of the capability cap to the value of value. If whom is non-zero, the capability should be set for
       the target specified by the scsi_address(9S) structure pointed to by ap; if whom is 0, all targets are affected; else, the target specified
       by  the scsi_address structure pointed to by ap is affected. It is recommended that HBA drivers do not support setting capabilities for all
       targets, that is, whom is 0.

       A device may support only a subset of the defined capabilities.

       Refer to scsi_ifgetcap(9F) for the list of defined capabilities.

       HBA drivers should use scsi_hba_lookup_capstr(9F) to match cap against the canonical capability strings.

RETURN VALUES

       tran_setcap() must return  1 if the capability was successfully set to the new value, 0 if the HBA  driver does not  support  changing  the
       capability, and	-1 if the capability was not defined.

       tran_getcap() must return the current value of a capability or  -1 if the capability was not defined.
