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  sup‐
       ported 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.

	    FCP Information Functions require that
	    the applications calling them
		  have	an  effective  user  id as
		  that of the root  user  (euid	 =
