.SH "NAME"
scsi_normalize_sense \- normalize main elements from either fixed or descriptor sense data format into a common format\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'int\ scsi_normalize_sense('u
.BI "int scsi_normalize_sense(const\ u8\ *\ " "sense_buffer" ", int\ " "sb_len" ", struct\ scsi_sense_hdr\ *\ " "sshdr" ");"
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIsense_buffer\fR
.RS 4
byte array containing sense data returned by device
.RE
.PP
\fIsb_len\fR
.RS 4
number of valid bytes in sense_buffer
.RE
.PP
\fIsshdr\fR
.RS 4
pointer to instance of structure that common elements are written to\&.
.RE
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
The
\(lqmain elements\(rq
from sense data are: response_code, sense_key, asc, ascq and additional_length (only for descriptor format)\&.
.PP
Typically this function can be called after a device has responded to a SCSI command with the CHECK_CONDITION status\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
1 if valid sense data information found, else 0;
