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.Va 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 NULL if the user wants the CAM library to allocate space for the
262.Va cam_device
263structure.
264.Fn cam_close_device
265frees the
266.Va cam_device
267structure allocated by one of the above open() calls, and closes the file
268descriptor to the passthrough device.
269This routine should not be called if
270the user allocated space for the
271.Va cam_device
272structure.
273Instead, the user should call
274.Fn cam_close_spec_device .
275.Pp
276.Fn cam_close_spec_device
277merely closes the file descriptor opened in one of the open() routines
278described above.
279This function should be called when the
280.Va cam_device
281structure was allocated by the caller, rather than the CAM library.
282.Pp
283.Fn cam_getccb
284allocates a CCB
285using
286.Xr malloc 3
287and sets fields in the CCB header using values from the
288.Va cam_device
289structure.
290.Pp
291.Fn cam_send_ccb
292sends the given
293.Va ccb
294to the
295.Fa device
296described in the
297.Va cam_device
298structure.
299.Pp
300.Fn cam_freeccb
301frees CCBs allocated by
302.Fn cam_getccb .
303.Pp
304.Fn cam_path_string
305takes as arguments a
306.Va cam_device
307structure, and a string with length
308.Fa len .
309It creates a colon-terminated printing prefix string similar to the ones
310used by the kernel.
311e.g.: "(cd0:ahc1:0:4:0): ".
312.Fn cam_path_string
313will place at most
314.Fa len Ns \-1
315characters into
316.Ar str .
317The
318.Ar len Ns 'th
319character will be the terminating
320.Ql \e0 .
321.Pp
322.Fn cam_device_dup
323operates in a fashion similar to
324.Xr strdup 3 .
325It allocates space for a
326.Va cam_device
327structure and copies the contents of the passed-in
328.Fa device
329structure to the newly allocated structure.
330.Pp
331.Fn cam_device_copy
332copies the
333.Fa src
334structure to
335.Fa dst .
336.Pp
337.Fn cam_get_device
338takes a
339.Fa path
340argument containing a string with a device name followed by a unit number.
341It then breaks the string down into a device name and unit number, and
342passes them back in
343.Fa dev_name
344and
345.Fa unit ,
346respectively.
347.Fn cam_get_device
348can handle strings of the following forms, at least:
349.Pp
350.Bl -tag -width 1234 -compact
351.It /dev/foo1
352.It foo0
353.It nsa2
354.El
355.Pp
356.Fn cam_get_device
357is provided as a convenience function for applications that need to provide
358functionality similar to
359.Fn cam_open_device .
360.Sh RETURN VALUES
361.Fn cam_open_device ,
362.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
363.Fn cam_open_btl ,
364and
365.Fn cam_open_pass
366return a pointer to a
367.Va cam_device
368structure, or NULL if there was an error.
369.Pp
370.Fn cam_getccb
371returns an allocated and partially initialized CCB, or NULL if allocation
372of the CCB failed.
373.Pp
374.Fn cam_send_ccb
375returns a value of -1 if an error occurred, and
376.Va errno
377is set to indicate the error.
378.Pp
379.Fn cam_path_string
380returns a filled printing prefix string as a convenience.
381This is the same
382.Fa str
383that is passed into
384.Fn cam_path_string .
385.Pp
386.Fn cam_device_dup
387returns a copy of the
388.Va device
389passed in, or NULL if an error occurred.
390.Pp
391.Fn cam_get_device
392returns 0 for success, and -1 to indicate failure.
393.Pp
394If an error is returned from one of the base CAM library functions
395described here, the reason for the error is generally printed in the global
396string
397.Va cam_errbuf
398which is
399.Dv CAM_ERRBUF_SIZE
400characters long.

410.Sh BUGS
411.Fn cam_open_device
412does not check to see if the
413.Fa path
414passed in is a symlink to something.
415It also does not check to see if the
416.Fa path
417passed in is an actual
418.Xr pass 4
419device.
420The former would be rather easy to implement, but the latter would
421require a definitive way to identify a device node as a
422.Xr pass 4
423device.
424.Pp
425Some of the functions are possibly mis-named or poorly named.
