.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
Target drivers use \fBscsi_transport()\fR to request the host adapter driver to transport a command to the \fBSCSI \fRtarget device specified by \fIpkt\fR. The target driver must obtain resources for the packet using \fBscsi_init_pkt\fR(9F) prior to calling this function. The packet may be initialized using one of the \fBmakecom\fR(9F) functions. \fBscsi_transport()\fR does not wait for the \fBSCSI\fR command to complete. See \fBscsi_poll\fR(9F) for a description of polled \fBSCSI\fR commands. Upon completion of the \fBSCSI\fR command the host adapter calls the completion routine provided by the target driver in the \fBpkt_comp\fR member of the \fBscsi_pkt\fR pointed to by \fIpkt\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_transport()\fR function returns:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBTRAN_ACCEPT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt  
The packet was accepted by the transport layer.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBTRAN_BUSY\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt  
The packet could not be accepted because there was already a packet in progress for this target/lun, the host adapter queue was full, or the target device queue was full.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBTRAN_BADPKT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt  
The \fBDMA\fR count in the packet exceeded the \fBDMA\fR engine's maximum \fBDMA\fR size.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBTRAN_FATAL_ERROR\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 20n
.rt  
A fatal error has occurred in the transport layer.

.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_transport()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel context.
