120.Sh DESCRIPTION
121The CAM library consists of a number of functions designed to aid in
122programming with the CAM subsystem described in
123.Xr cam 4 .
124This man page covers the basic set of
125library functions.
126More functions are documented in the man pages listed
127below.
128.Pp
129Many of the CAM library functions use the
130.Va cam_device
131structure:
132.Bd -literal
133struct cam_device {
134	char		device_path[MAXPATHLEN+1];/*
135						   * Pathname of the
136						   * device given by the
137						   * user. This may be
138						   * null if the user
139						   * states the device
140						   * name and unit number
141						   * separately.
142						   */
143	char		given_dev_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
144						     * Device name given by
145						     * the user.
146						     */
147	uint32_t	given_unit_number;	    /*
148						     * Unit number given by
149						     * the user.
150						     */
151	char		device_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
152						  * Name of the device,
153						  * e.g., 'pass'
154						  */
155	uint32_t	dev_unit_num;	/* Unit number of the passthrough
156					 * device associated with this
157					 * particular device.
158					 */
159
160	char		sim_name[SIM_IDLEN+1];/*
161					       * Controller name, e.g., 'ahc'
162					       */
163	uint32_t	sim_unit_number; /* Controller unit number */
164	uint32_t	bus_id;		 /* Controller bus number */
165	lun_id_t	target_lun;	 /* Logical Unit Number */
166	target_id_t	target_id;	 /* Target ID */
167	path_id_t	path_id;	 /* System SCSI bus number */
168	uint16_t	pd_type;	 /* type of peripheral device */
169	struct scsi_inquiry_data inq_data;  /* SCSI Inquiry data */
170	uint8_t		serial_num[252]; /* device serial number */
171	uint8_t		serial_num_len;  /* length of the serial number */
172	uint8_t		sync_period;	 /* Negotiated sync period */
173	uint8_t		sync_offset;	 /* Negotiated sync offset */
174	uint8_t		bus_width;	 /* Negotiated bus width */
175	int		fd;		 /* file descriptor for device */
176};
177.Ed
178.Pp
179.Fn cam_open_device
180takes as arguments a string describing the device it is to open, and
181.Ar flags
182suitable for passing to
183.Xr open 2 .
184The "path" passed in may actually be most any type of string that contains
185a device name and unit number to be opened.
186The string will be parsed by
187.Fn cam_get_device
188into a device name and unit number.
189Once the device name and unit number
190are determined, a lookup is performed to determine the passthrough device
191that corresponds to the given device.
192.Pp
193.Fn cam_open_spec_device
194opens the
195.Xr pass 4
196device that corresponds to the device name and unit number passed in.
197The
198.Ar flags
199should be flags suitable for passing to
200.Xr open 2 .
201The
202.Ar device
203argument is optional.
204The user may supply pre-allocated space for the
205.Va cam_device
206structure.
207If the
208.Ar device
209argument is
210.Dv NULL ,
211.Fn cam_open_spec_device
212will allocate space for the
213.Va cam_device
214structure using
215.Xr malloc 3 .
216.Pp
217.Fn cam_open_btl
218is similar to
219.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
220except that it takes a SCSI bus,
221target and logical unit instead of a device name and unit number as
222arguments.
223The
224.Va path_id
225argument is the CAM equivalent of a SCSI bus number.
226It represents the logical bus number in the system.
227The
228.Ar flags
229should be flags suitable for passing to
230.Xr open 2 .
231As with
232.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
233the
234.Fa device
235argument is optional.
236.Pp
237.Fn cam_open_pass
238takes as an argument the
239.Fa path
240of a
241.Xr pass 4
242device to open.
243No translation or lookup is performed, so the path passed
244in must be that of a CAM
245.Xr pass 4
246device.
247The
248.Fa flags
249should be flags suitable for passing to
250.Xr open 2 .
251The
252.Fa device
253argument, as with
254.Fn cam_open_spec_device
255and
256.Fn cam_open_btl ,
257should be
258.Dv NULL
259if the user wants the CAM library to allocate space for the
260.Va cam_device
261structure.
262.Pp
263.Fn cam_close_device
264frees the
265.Va cam_device
266structure allocated by one of the above
267.Xr open 2
268calls, and closes the file
269descriptor to the passthrough device.
270This routine should not be called if
271the user allocated space for the
272.Va cam_device
273structure.
274Instead, the user should call
275.Fn cam_close_spec_device .
276.Pp
277.Fn cam_close_spec_device
278merely closes the file descriptor opened in one of the
279.Xr open 2
280routines
281described above.
282This function should be called when the
283.Va cam_device
284structure was allocated by the caller, rather than the CAM library.
285.Pp
286.Fn cam_getccb
287allocates a prezeroed CCB
288using
289.Xr calloc 3
290and sets fields in the CCB header using values from the
291.Va cam_device
292structure.
293.Pp
294.Fn cam_send_ccb
295sends the given
296.Va ccb
297to the
298.Fa device
299described in the
300.Va cam_device
301structure.
302.Pp
303.Fn cam_freeccb
304frees CCBs allocated by
305.Fn cam_getccb .
306If
307.Va ccb
308is
309.Dv NULL ,
310no action is taken.
311.Pp
312.Fn cam_path_string
313takes as arguments a
314.Va cam_device
315structure, and a string with length
316.Fa len .
317It creates a colon-terminated printing prefix string similar to the ones
318used by the kernel.
319e.g.: "(cd0:ahc1:0:4:0): ".
320.Fn cam_path_string
321will place at most
322.Fa len Ns \-1
323characters into
324.Ar str .
325The
326.Ar len Ns 'th
327character will be the terminating
328.Ql \e0 .
329.Pp
330.Fn cam_device_dup
331operates in a fashion similar to
332.Xr strdup 3 .
333It allocates space for a
334.Va cam_device
335structure and copies the contents of the passed-in
336.Fa device
337structure to the newly allocated structure.
338.Pp
339.Fn cam_device_copy
340copies the
341.Fa src
342structure to
343.Fa dst .
344.Pp
345.Fn cam_get_device
346takes a
347.Fa path
348argument containing a string with a device name followed by a unit number.
349It then breaks the string down into a device name and unit number, and
350passes them back in
351.Fa dev_name
352and
353.Fa unit ,
354respectively.
355.Fn cam_get_device
356can handle strings of the following forms, at least:
357.Pp
358.Bl -tag -width 1234 -compact
359.It /dev/foo1
360.It foo0
361.It nsa2
362.El
363.Pp
364.Fn cam_get_device
365is provided as a convenience function for applications that need to provide
366functionality similar to
367.Fn cam_open_device .
368.Sh RETURN VALUES
369.Fn cam_open_device ,
370.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
371.Fn cam_open_btl ,
372and
373.Fn cam_open_pass
374return a pointer to a
375.Va cam_device
376structure, or
377.Dv NULL
378if there was an error.
379.Pp
380.Fn cam_getccb
381returns an allocated and partially initialized CCB, or
382.Dv NULL
383if allocation of the CCB failed.
384.Pp
385.Fn cam_send_ccb
386returns a value of -1 if an error occurred, and
387.Va errno
388is set to indicate the error.
389.Pp
390.Fn cam_path_string
391returns a filled printing prefix string as a convenience.
392This is the same
393.Fa str
394that is passed into
395.Fn cam_path_string .
396.Pp
397.Fn cam_device_dup
398returns a copy of the
399.Va device
400passed in, or
401.Dv NULL
402if an error occurred.
403.Pp
404.Fn cam_get_device
405returns 0 for success, and -1 to indicate failure.
406.Pp
407If an error is returned from one of the base CAM library functions
408described here, the reason for the error is generally printed in the global
409string
410.Va cam_errbuf
411which is
412.Dv CAM_ERRBUF_SIZE
413characters long.

423.Sh BUGS
424.Fn cam_open_device
425does not check to see if the
426.Fa path
427passed in is a symlink to something.
428It also does not check to see if the
429.Fa path
430passed in is an actual
431.Xr pass 4
432device.
433The former would be rather easy to implement, but the latter would
434require a definitive way to identify a device node as a
435.Xr pass 4
436device.
437.Pp
438Some of the functions are possibly misnamed or poorly named.
