The interface can and will change without notice as the project needs, at any time. .Pp All output is assumed to be in a columnar format, where each column represents a field to be printed out. Multiple fields in parsable output are separated by .Sq \&: , with the .Sq \&: character itself escaped by a .Sq \e .Po e.g., IPv6 addresses may be printed as .Qq fe80\e:\e:1 .Pc ; single field output is printed as-is. In multiline mode, every .Bq field,value pair is printed in a line of its own, thus: .Qq field: value . .Ss Data Structures The .Vt ofmt_field_t data structure used in .Sx ofmt_open is defined as follows: .Bd -literal typedef struct ofmt_field_s { char *of_name; /* column name */ uint_t of_width; /* output column width */ uint_t of_id; /* implementation specific cookie */ ofmt_cb_t *of_cb; /* callback function defined by caller */ } ofmt_field_t; .Ed .Pp The .Vt ofmt_arg_t data structure which is passed to callback function is defined as follows: .Bd -literal typedef struct ofmt_arg_s { uint_t ofmt_id; /* implementation specific cookie */ uint_t ofmt_width; /* output column width */ uint_t ofmt_index; /* unused */ void *ofmt_cbarg; /* argument passed to ofmt_print() */ } ofmt_arg_t; .Ed .Ss Fn ofmt_open The .Fn ofmt_open function opens a handle returned in .Fa ofmt for each set of fields to be printed. .Pp .Fa fields is a comma-separated list of the fields that have been selected for output .Po typically the string passed to .Fl o in the command-line .Pc . Columns selected for output are identified by a match between the .Va of_name value in the .Fa template and the .Fa fields requested. In human-friendly .Pq non machine-parsable mode, .Dv NULL .Fa fields , or a value of .Qq all is treated as a request to print all allowable fields that fit other applicable constraints. .Pp .Fa template specifies the list of supported fields, along with formatting information .Pq e.g., field width , and a pointer to a callback function that can provide a string representation of the value to be printed out. The set of supported fields must be a .Dv NULL terminated array of type .Vt ofmt_field_t , described in .Sx Data Structures , as follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent {, , , }, \&.\&.\&. {, , , }, {NULL, 0, 0, NULL} .Ed .Pp .Va of_cb is the application-specified callback function with the following prototype that provides a string representation of the value to be printed for the field: .Bd -literal -offset indent boolean_t (*of_cb)(ofmt_arg_t *ofmt_arg, char *buf, uint_t bufsize) .Ed .Pp The callback must not write beyond .Fa bufsize bytes of the string form into .Fa buf . If the function successfully translates the field into its string representation and places it into .Fa buf , then the callback function should return .Dv B_TRUE . Otherwise, the callback function should return .Dv B_FALSE . .Pp The interpretation of the .Va of_id field is completely private to the caller, and can be optionally used by the callback function as a cookie to identify the field being printed when a single callback function is shared between multiple .Fa template entries. .Pp The .Fa flags can be any valid combination of the following: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "OFMT_MULTILINE" -compact .It Dv OFMT_PARSABLE Machine-parsable mode. Specifying a null or empty .Va fields in the machine-parsable mode will result in a returned error value of .Dv OFMT_EPARSENONE . An attempt to create a handle in machine-parsable mode with the .Fa fields set to .Qq all will result in a returned error value of .Dv OFMT_EPARSEALL . .It Dv OFMT_WRAP Wrap output if field width is exceeded. Currently output is wrapped at whitespace or comma characters. .It Dv OFMT_MULTILINE Multiline mode. Specifying both .Dv OFMT_MULTILINE and .Dv OFMT_PARSABLE will result in .Dv OFMT_EPARSEMULTI . .It Dv OFMT_RIGHTJUST Right justified output. .It Dv OFMT_NOHEADER Skip printing the header when calling .Fn ofmt_print . .El .Pp The non-zero .Fa maxcols limits the number of output columns. .Ss Fn ofmt_print The .Fn ofmt_print function prints a row of output. .Pp .Fa cbarg points at the arguments to be passed to the callback function for each column in the row. The call to .Fn ofmt_print will result in the callback function of each selected field invoked with .Va of_id , .Va of_width and .Fa cbarg embedded in .Fa ofmt_arg , described in .Sx Data Structures . .Pp The callback function should fill .Fa buf with the string to be printed for the field using the data in .Fa cbarg . .Ss Fn ofmt_print_header The .Fn ofmt_print_header function prints the output header. This is usually done as part of calling .Fn ofmt_print , but is skipped when using .Dv OFMT_NOHEADER . This function allows you to insert it when and where desired. .Ss Fn ofmt_update_winsize The .Fn ofmt_update_winsize function updates the window size information .Pq which is initially computed when the handle is created in the .Fa ofmt . If the .Dv TIOCGWINSZ ioctl fails, the window size is set to 80x24. .Ss Fn ofmt_set_fs The .Fn ofmt_set_fs function sets the output field separator for parsable output. .Ss Fn ofmt_strerror The .Fn ofmt_strerror function returns error diagnostics in .Fa buf using the information in the .Fa ofmt and .Fa error . .Pp Using a .Fa buf size of .Dv OFMT_BUFSIZE is recommended. .Ss Fn ofmt_close The .Fn ofmt_close function frees any resources allocated for the handle after printing is completed. .Sh RETURN VALUES If successful, the .Fn ofmt_open function will return .Dv OFMT_SUCCESS , with a non-null .Fa ofmt_handle . The function returns one of the failure codes .Po enumerated in .Vt ofmt_status_t .Pc listed below otherwise: .Pp .Bl -tag -width "OFMT_ENOTEMPLATE" -compact .It Dv OFMT_ENOMEM out of memory .It Dv OFMT_EBADFIELDS one or more bad fields with good fields .It Dv OFMT_ENOFIELDS no valid output fields .It Dv OFMT_EPARSEALL "all" is invalid in parsable mode .It Dv OFMT_EPARSENONE output fields missing in parsable mode .It Dv OFMT_EPARSEWRAP parsable mode incompatible with wrap mode .It Dv OFMT_ENOTEMPLATE no template provided for fields .It Dv OFMT_EPARSEMULTI parsable and multiline don't mix .El .Pp More information about the type of failure can be obtained by calling .Fn ofmt_strerror . .Pp The .Fn ofmt_strerror function returns the .Fa buf . .Sh INTERFACE STABILITY .Sy Private . .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ioctl 2 , .Xr strerror 3C , .Xr attributes 5
