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

412.Sh HISTORY
413The CAM library first appeared in

417.Sh BUGS
418.Fn cam_open_device
419does not check to see if the
420.Fa path
421passed in is a symlink to something.
422It also does not check to see if the
423.Fa path
424passed in is an actual
425.Xr pass 4
426device.
427The former would be rather easy to implement, but the latter would
428require a definitive way to identify a device node as a
429.Xr pass 4
430device.
431.Pp
432Some of the functions are possibly misnamed or poorly named.
