.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These functions access information associated with path property values and
attributes such as the property name or data type.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_name()\fR function returns a pointer to a string containing
the name of the property.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_type()\fR function returns the type of the path property.
The type determines the appropriate interface to access property values.
Possible property types are the same as for \fBdi_prop_type\fR(3DEVINFO),
excluding \fBDI_PROP_TYPE_UNKNOWN\fR and \fBDI_PROP_UNDEFINED\fR. Thus,
\fBdi_path_prop_type()\fR can return one of the following constants:
.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBDI_PROP_TYPE_INT\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
.rt  
Use \fBdi_path_prop_ints()\fR to access property data.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBDI_PROP_TYPE_INT64\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
.rt  
Use \fBdi_path_prop_int64s()\fR to access property data.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBDI_PROP_TYPE_STRING\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
.rt  
Use \fBdi_path_prop_strings()\fR to access property data.
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.mk
.na
\fB\fBDI_PROP_TYPE_BYTE\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 23n
.rt  
Use \fBdi_path_prop_bytes()\fR to access property data.
.RE

.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_bytes()\fR function returns the property data as a series
of unsigned characters.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_ints()\fR function returns the property data as a series of
integers.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_int64s()\fR function returns the property data as a series
of integers.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_strings()\fR function returns the property data as a
concatenation of null-terminated strings.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion,  \fBdi_path_prop_bytes()\fR,
\fBdi_path_prop_ints()\fR, \fBdi_path_prop_int64s()\fR, and
\fBdi_path_prop_strings()\fR return a non-negative value, indicating the number
of entries in the property value buffer. If the property is found, the number
of entries in \fIprop_data\fR is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and
\fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the error.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_path_prop_bytes()\fR, the number of entries is the number of unsigned
characters contained in the buffer pointed to by \fIprop_data\fR.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_path_prop_ints()\fR, the number of entries is the number of integers
contained in the buffer pointed to by \fIprop_data\fR.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_path_prop_ints()\fR, the number of entries is the number of 64-bit
integers contained in the buffer pointed to by \fIprop_data\fR.
.sp
.LP
For \fBdi_path_prop_strings()\fR, the number of entries is the number of
null-terminated strings contained in the buffer. The strings are stored in a
concatenated format in the buffer.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_name()\fR function returns the name of the property.
.sp
.LP
The \fBdi_path_prop_type()\fR function can return one of types described in the
Description.
.SH ERRORS
.sp
.LP
These functions will fail if:
.sp
