NAME

6       scsi_get_vpd_page - Get Vital Product Data from a SCSI device
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int scsi_get_vpd_page(struct scsi_device * sdev, u8 page,
10                             unsigned char * buf, int buf_len);
11

ARGUMENTS

13       sdev
14           The device to ask
15
16       page
17           Which Vital Product Data to return
18
19       buf
20           where to store the VPD
21
22       buf_len
23           number of bytes in the VPD buffer area
24

DESCRIPTION

26       SCSI devices may optionally supply Vital Product Data. Each 'page' of
27       VPD is defined in the appropriate SCSI document (eg SPC, SBC). If the
28       device supports this VPD page, this routine returns a pointer to a
29       buffer containing the data from that page. The caller is responsible
30       for calling kfree on this pointer when it is no longer needed. If we
31       cannot retrieve the VPD page this routine returns NULL.
