Applications and device drivers use these functions to identify and locate devices, independent of the device's physical connection or its logical device name or number. .Pp The .Fn devid_get function returns in .Fa retdevid the device ID for the device associated with the open file descriptor .Fa fd , which refers to any device. It returns an error if the device does not have an associated device ID. The caller must free the memory allocated for .Fa retdevid using the .Fn devid_free function. .Pp The .Fn devid_free function frees the space that was allocated for the returned .Fa devid by .Fn devid_get and .Fn devid_str_decode . .Pp The .Fn devid_get_minor_name function returns the minor name, in .Fa retminor_name , for the device associated with the open file descriptor .Fa fd . This name is specific to the particular minor number, but is .Qq instance number specific. The caller of this function must free the memory allocated for the returned .Fa retminor_name string using .Fn devid_str_free . .Pp The .Fn devid_deviceid_to_nmlist function returns an array of .Fa devid_nmlist structures, where each entry matches the .Fa devid and .Fa minor_name passed in. If the .Fa minor_name specified is one of the special values .Po .Dv DEVID_MINOR_NAME_ALL , .Dv DEVID_MINOR_NAME_ALL_CHR , or .Dv DEVID_MINOR_NAME_ALL_BLK .Pc , then all minor names associated with .Fa devid which also meet the special .Fa minor_name filtering requirements are returned. The .Fa devid_nmlist structure contains the device name and device number. The last entry of the array contains a null pointer for the .Fa devname and .Dv NODEV for the device number. This function traverses the file tree, starting at .Fa search_path . For each device with a matching device ID and minor name tuple, a device name and device number are added to the .Fa retlist . If no matches are found, an error is returned. The caller of this function must free the memory allocated for the returned array with the .Fn devid_free_nmlist function. This function may take a long time to complete if called with the device ID of an unattached device. .Pp The .Fn devid_free_nmlist function frees the memory allocated by the .Fn devid_deviceid_to_nmlist function and returned in the .Fa retlist . .Pp The .Fn devid_compare function compares two device IDs and determines both equality and sort order. The function returns an integer greater than 0 if the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is greater than the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . It returns 0 if the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is equal to the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . It returns an integer less than 0 if the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is less than the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . This function is the only valid mechanism to determine the equality of two devids. This function may indicate equality for arguments which by simple inspection appear different. .Pp The .Fn devid_sizeof function returns the size of .Fa devid in bytes. .Pp The .Fn devid_valid function validates the format of a .Fa devid . It returns 1 if the format is valid, and 0 if invalid. This check may not be as complete as the corresponding kernel function .Fn ddi_devid_valid .Po see .Xr ddi_devid_compare 9F .Pc . .Pp The .Fn devid_str_encode function encodes a .Fa devid and .Fa minor_name into a null-terminated ASCII string, returning a pointer to that string. To avoid shell conflicts, the .Fa devid portion of the string is limited to uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, and the plus .Pq Qq Sy \&+ , minus .Pq Qq Sy \&- , period .Pq Qq Sy \&. , equals .Pq Qq Sy \&= , underscore .Pq Qq Sy \&_ , tilde .Pq Qq Sy \&~ , and comma .Pq Qq Sy \&, characters. If there is an ASCII quote character in the binary form of a .Fa devid , the string representation will be in hex_id form, not ascii_id form. The comma .Pq Qq Sy \&, character is added for .Qq id1, at the head of the string .Fa devid . If both a .Fa devid and a .Fa minor_name are non-null, a slash .Pq Qq Sy \&/ is used to separate the .Fa devid from the .Fa minor_name in the encoded string. If .Fa minor_name is null, only the .Fa devid is encoded. If the .Fa devid is null then the special string .Qq id0 is returned. Note that you cannot compare the returned string against another string with .Xr strcmp 3C to determine devid equality. The string returned must be freed by calling .Fn devid_str_free . .Pp The .Fn devid_str_from_path is similar to .Fn devid_str_encode , but takes a .Fa path argument instead. If .Fa path includes the minor name, it will be encoded as well. The string returned must be freed by calling .Fn devid_str_free . .Pp The .Fn devid_str_decode function takes a string previously produced by the .Fn devid_str_encode or .Fn ddi_devid_str_encode .Po see .Xr ddi_devid_compare 9F .Pc function and decodes the contained device ID and minor name, allocating and returning pointers to the extracted parts via the .Fa retdevid and .Fa retminor_name arguments. If the special .Fa devidstr .Qq id0 was specified, the returned device ID and minor name will both be null. A non-null returned devid must be freed by the caller by the .Fn devid_free function. A non-null returned minor name must be freed by calling .Fn devid_str_free . .Pp The .Fn devid_str_free function frees the character string returned by .Fn devid_str_encode and the .Fa retminor_name argument returned by .Fn devid_str_decode and .Fn devid_get_minor_name . .Sh RETURN VALUES Upon successful completion, the .Fn devid_get , .Fn devid_get_minor_name , .Fn devid_str_decode , and .Fn devid_deviceid_to_nmlist functions return 0. Otherwise, they return -1. .Pp The .Fn devid_compare function returns the following values: .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Sy -1 The device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is less than the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . .It Sy 0 The device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is equal to the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . .It Sy 1 The device ID pointed to by .Fa devid1 is greater than the device ID pointed to by .Fa devid2 . .El .Pp The .Fn devid_sizeof function returns the size of .Fa devid in bytes. If .Fa devid is null, the number of bytes that must be allocated and initialized to determine the size of a complete device ID is returned. .Pp The .Fn devid_valid function returns 1 if the .Fa devid is valid and 0 if the .Fa devid is invalid. .Pp The .Fn devid_str_encode and .Fn devid_str_from_path functions return NULL to indicate failure. Failure may be caused by attempting to encode an invalid string. If the return value is non-null, the caller must free the returned string by using the .Fn devid_str_free function. .Sh EXAMPLES .Bl -tag -width Ds .It Xo .Sy Example 1 Using .Fn devid_get , .Fn devid_get_minor_name , and .Fn devid_str_encode .Xc The following example shows the proper use of .Fn devid_get , .Fn devid_get_minor_name , and .Fn devid_str_encode to free the space allocated for .Fa devid , .Fa minor_name and encoded .Fa devid . .Bd -literal int fd; ddi_devid_t devid; char *minor_name, *devidstr; if ((fd = open("/dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0", O_RDONLY|O_NDELAY)) < 0) { ... } if (devid_get(fd, &devid) != 0) { ... } if (devid_get_minor_name(fd, &minor_name) != 0) { ... } if ((devidstr = devid_str_encode(devid, minor_name)) == 0) { ... } printf("devid %s\en", devidstr); devid_str_free(devidstr); devid_free(devid); devid_str_free(minor_name); .Ed .It Xo .Sy Example 2 Using .Fn devid_deviceid_to_nmlist and .Fn devid_free_nmlist .Xc The following example shows the proper use of .Fn devid_deviceid_to_nmlist and .Fn devid_free_nmlist : .Bd -literal devid_nmlist_t *list = NULL; int err; if (devid_deviceid_to_nmlist("/dev/rdsk", devid, minor_name, &list)) return (-1); /* loop through list and process device names and numbers */ devid_free_nmlist(list); .Ed .El .Sh MT-LEVEL .Sy MT-Safe .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Stable .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr free 3C , .Xr libdevid 3LIB , .Xr attributes 5 , .Xr ddi_devid_compare 9F
