122.Sh DESCRIPTION
123The CAM library consists of a number of functions designed to aid in
124programming with the CAM subsystem described in
125.Xr cam 4 .
126This man page covers the basic set of
127library functions.
128More functions are documented in the man pages listed
129below.
130.Pp
131Many of the CAM library functions use the
132.Va cam_device
133structure:
134.Bd -literal
135struct cam_device {
136	char		device_path[MAXPATHLEN+1];/*
137						   * Pathname of the
138						   * device given by the
139						   * user. This may be
140						   * null if the user
141						   * states the device
142						   * name and unit number
143						   * separately.
144						   */
145	char		given_dev_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
146						     * Device name given by
147						     * the user.
148						     */
149	uint32_t	given_unit_number;	    /*
150						     * Unit number given by
151						     * the user.
152						     */
153	char		device_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
154						  * Name of the device,
155						  * e.g., 'pass'
156						  */
157	uint32_t	dev_unit_num;	/* Unit number of the passthrough
158					 * device associated with this
159					 * particular device.
160					 */
161
162	char		sim_name[SIM_IDLEN+1];/*
163					       * Controller name, e.g., 'ahc'
164					       */
165	uint32_t	sim_unit_number; /* Controller unit number */
166	uint32_t	bus_id;		 /* Controller bus number */
167	lun_id_t	target_lun;	 /* Logical Unit Number */
168	target_id_t	target_id;	 /* Target ID */
169	path_id_t	path_id;	 /* System SCSI bus number */
170	uint16_t	pd_type;	 /* type of peripheral device */
171	struct scsi_inquiry_data inq_data;  /* SCSI Inquiry data */
172	uint8_t		serial_num[252]; /* device serial number */
173	uint8_t		serial_num_len;  /* length of the serial number */
174	uint8_t		sync_period;	 /* Negotiated sync period */
175	uint8_t		sync_offset;	 /* Negotiated sync offset */
176	uint8_t		bus_width;	 /* Negotiated bus width */
177	int		fd;		 /* file descriptor for device */
178};
179.Ed
180.Pp
181.Fn cam_open_device
182takes as arguments a string describing the device it is to open, and
183.Ar flags
184suitable for passing to
185.Xr open 2 .
186The "path" passed in may actually be most any type of string that contains
187a device name and unit number to be opened.
188The string will be parsed by
189.Fn cam_get_device
190into a device name and unit number.
191Once the device name and unit number
192are determined, a lookup is performed to determine the passthrough device
193that corresponds to the given device.
194.Pp
195.Fn cam_open_spec_device
196opens the
197.Xr pass 4
198device that corresponds to the device name and unit number passed in.
199The
200.Ar flags
201should be flags suitable for passing to
202.Xr open 2 .
203The
204.Ar device
205argument is optional.
206The user may supply pre-allocated space for the
207.Va cam_device
208structure.
209If the
210.Ar device
211argument is
212.Dv NULL ,
213.Fn cam_open_spec_device
214will allocate space for the
215.Va cam_device
216structure using
217.Xr malloc 3 .
218.Pp
219.Fn cam_open_btl
220is similar to
221.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
222except that it takes a SCSI bus,
223target 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 SCSI bus number.
228It represents the logical bus number in the system.
229The
230.Ar flags
231should be flags suitable for passing to
232.Xr open 2 .
233As with
234.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
235the
236.Fa device
237argument is optional.
238.Pp
239.Fn cam_open_pass
240takes as an argument the
241.Fa path
242of a
243.Xr pass 4
244device to open.
245No translation or lookup is performed, so the path passed
246in must be that of a CAM
247.Xr pass 4
248device.
249The
250.Fa flags
251should be flags suitable for passing to
252.Xr open 2 .
253The
254.Fa device
255argument, as with
256.Fn cam_open_spec_device
257and
258.Fn cam_open_btl ,
259should be
260.Dv NULL
261if the user wants the CAM library to allocate space for the
262.Va cam_device
263structure.
264.Pp
265.Fn cam_close_device
266frees the
267.Va cam_device
268structure allocated by one of the above
269.Xr open 2
270calls, and closes the file
271descriptor to the passthrough device.
272This routine should not be called if
273the user allocated space for the
274.Va cam_device
275structure.
276Instead, the user should call
277.Fn cam_close_spec_device .
278.Pp
279.Fn cam_close_spec_device
280merely closes the file descriptor opened in one of the
281.Xr open 2
282routines
283described above.
284This function should be called when the
285.Va cam_device
286structure was allocated by the caller, rather than the CAM library.
287.Pp
288.Fn cam_getccb
289allocates a prezeroed CCB
290using
291.Xr calloc 3
292and sets fields in the CCB header using values from the
293.Va cam_device
294structure.
295.Pp
296.Fn cam_send_ccb
297sends the given
298.Va ccb
299to the
300.Fa device
301described in the
302.Va cam_device
303structure.
304.Pp
305.Fn cam_freeccb
306frees CCBs allocated by
307.Fn cam_getccb .
308If
309.Va ccb
310is
311.Dv NULL ,
312no action is taken.
313.Pp
314.Fn cam_path_string
315takes as arguments a
316.Va cam_device
317structure, and a string with length
318.Fa len .
319It creates a colon-terminated printing prefix string similar to the ones
320used by the kernel.
321e.g.: "(cd0:ahc1:0:4:0): ".
322.Fn cam_path_string
323will place at most
324.Fa len Ns \-1
325characters into
326.Ar str .
327The
328.Ar len Ns 'th
329character will be the terminating
330.Ql \e0 .
331.Pp
332.Fn cam_device_dup
333operates in a fashion similar to
334.Xr strdup 3 .
335It allocates space for a
336.Va cam_device
337structure and copies the contents of the passed-in
338.Fa device
339structure to the newly allocated structure.
340.Pp
341.Fn cam_device_copy
342copies the
343.Fa src
344structure to
345.Fa dst .
346.Pp
347.Fn cam_get_device
348takes a
349.Fa path
350argument containing a string with a device name followed by a unit number.
351It then breaks the string down into a device name and unit number, and
352passes them back in
353.Fa dev_name
354and
355.Fa unit ,
356respectively.
357.Fn cam_get_device
358can handle strings of the following forms, at least:
359.Pp
360.Bl -tag -width 1234 -compact
361.It /dev/foo1
362.It foo0
363.It nsa2
364.El
365.Pp
366.Fn cam_get_device
367is provided as a convenience function for applications that need to provide
368functionality similar to
369.Fn cam_open_device .
370.Sh RETURN VALUES
371.Fn cam_open_device ,
372.Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
373.Fn cam_open_btl ,
374and
375.Fn cam_open_pass
376return a pointer to a
377.Va cam_device
378structure, or
379.Dv NULL
380if there was an error.
381.Pp
382.Fn cam_getccb
383returns an allocated and partially initialized CCB, or
384.Dv NULL
385if allocation of the CCB failed.
386.Pp
387.Fn cam_send_ccb
388returns a value of -1 if an error occurred, and
389.Va errno
390is set to indicate the error.
391.Pp
392.Fn cam_path_string
393returns a filled printing prefix string as a convenience.
394This is the same
395.Fa str
396that is passed into
397.Fn cam_path_string .
398.Pp
399.Fn cam_device_dup
400returns a copy of the
401.Va device
402passed in, or
403.Dv NULL
404if an error occurred.
405.Pp
406.Fn cam_get_device
407returns 0 for success, and -1 to indicate failure.
408.Pp
409If an error is returned from one of the base CAM library functions
410described here, the reason for the error is generally printed in the global
411string
412.Va cam_errbuf
413which is
414.Dv CAM_ERRBUF_SIZE
415characters long.

420.Sh HISTORY
421The CAM library first appeared in

425.Sh BUGS
426.Fn cam_open_device
427does not check to see if the
428.Fa path
429passed in is a symlink to something.
430It also does not check to see if the
431.Fa path
432passed in is an actual
433.Xr pass 4
434device.
435The former would be rather easy to implement, but the latter would
436require a definitive way to identify a device node as a
437.Xr pass 4
438device.
439.Pp
440Some of the functions are possibly misnamed or poorly named.
