DI_WALK_MINOR 3DEVINFO "Jan 14, 2009"
NAME
di_walk_minor - traverse libdevinfo minor nodes
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldevinfo [ library... ] #include <libdevinfo.h> int di_walk_minor(di_node_t root, const char *minor_nodetype, uint_t flag, void *arg, int (*minor_callback)(di_node_t node, di_minor_t minor, void *arg));
PARAMETERS
arg
Pointer to caller- specific user data.
Specify 0. Reserved for future use.
The minor node visited.
A character string specifying the minor data type, which may be one of the types defined by the illumos DDI framework, for example, DDI_NT_BLOCK. NULL matches all minor_node types. See ddi_create_minor_node(9F).
The device node with which to the minor node is associated.
Root of subtree to visit.
DESCRIPTION
The di_walk_minor() function visits all minor nodes attached to device
nodes in a subtree rooted at root. For each minor node that matches
minor_nodetype, the caller-supplied function minor_callback() is
invoked. The walk terminates immediately when minor_callback() returns
DI_WALK_TERMINATE.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, di_walk_minor() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is
returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The minor_callback() function returns one of the following: DI_WALK_CONTINUE
Continue to visit subsequent minor data nodes.
Terminate the walk immediately.
ERRORS
The di_walk_minor() function will fail if:
EINVAL
Invalid argument.

NOTES
The di_walk_minor() function is no longer an accurate method for walking
network datalink interfaces on the system. Applications should use
dlpi_walk(3DLPI) instead. It has been common for applications to use
di_walk_minor() to walk networking devices by passing in a
minor_nodetype of DDI_NT_NET, in most cases to discover the set of
DLPI devices on the system. illumos now makes a layering distinction between
networking devices (the objects displayed in the DEVICE field by
dladm show-phys) and network datalink interfaces (the objects
displayed by dladm show-link). Datalink interfaces are represented
as the set of DLPI device nodes that applications can open by using
dlpi_open(3DLPI) or by opening DLPI nodes out of the /dev/net
filesystem (see filesystem(7)). The dlpi_walk(3DLPI) function is
the proper function to walk these nodes.
