.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
For \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR:
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR function allocates a  \fBscsi_hba_tran\fR(9S)
structure for a \fBHBA\fR driver. The \fBHBA\fR must use this structure to
register its transport vectors with the system by using
\fBscsi_hba_attach_setup\fR(9F).
.sp
.LP
If the flag \fBSCSI_HBA_CANSLEEP\fR is set in \fIflags\fR,
\fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR may sleep when allocating resources; otherwise it
may not sleep, and callers should be prepared to deal with allocation failures.
.sp
.LP
For \fBscsi_hba_tran_free()\fR:
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_hba_tran_free()\fR function is used to free the
\fBscsi_hba_tran\fR(9S) structure allocated by \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR function returns a pointer to the allocated
transport structure, or \fBNULL\fR if no space is available.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or
kernel context. Drivers must not allow \fBscsi_hba_tran_alloc()\fR to sleep if
called from an interrupt routine.
.sp
.LP
The \fBscsi_hba_tran_free()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or
kernel context context.
