openprom - PROM monitor configuration interface

#include <sys/fcntl.h>

#include <sys/types.h>

#include <sys/openpromio.h>

open("/dev/openprom", mode);

The internal encoding of the configuration information stored in EEPROM or NVRAM varies from model to model, and on some systems the encoding is "hidden" by the firmware. The openprom driver provides a consistent interface that allows a user or program to inspect and modify that configuration, using ioctl(2) requests. These requests are defined in <sys/openpromio.h>:

struct openpromio {
 uint_t oprom_size; /* real size of following data */
 union {
 char b[1]; /* NB: Adjacent, Null terminated */
 int i;
 } opio_u;
};
#define oprom_array opio_u.b /* property name/value array */
#define oprom_node opio_u.i /* nodeid from navigation config-ops */
#define oprom_len opio_u.i /* property len from OPROMGETPROPLEN */
#define OPROMMAXPARAM 32768 /* max size of array (advisory) */

For all ioctl(2) requests, the third parameter is a pointer to a struct openpromio. All property names and values are null-terminated strings; the value of a numeric option is its ASCII representation.

For the raw ioctl(2) operations shown below that explicitly or implicitly specify a nodeid, an error may be returned. This is due to the removal of the node from the firmware device tree by a Dynamic Reconfiguration operation. Programs should decide if the appropriate response is to restart the scanning operation from the beginning or terminate, informing the user that the tree has changed.

There should be separate return values for non-existent properties as opposed to not enough space for the value.

An attempt to set a property to an illegal value results in the PROM setting it to some legal value, with no error being returned. An OPROMGETOPT should be performed after an OPROMSETOPT to verify that the set worked.

Some PROMS lie about the property length of some string properties, omitting the NULL terminator from the property length. The openprom driver attempts to transparently compensate for these bugs when returning property values by NULL terminating an extra character in the user buffer if space is available in the user buffer. This extra character is excluded from the oprom_size field returned from OPROMGETPROP and OPROMGETOPT and excluded in the oprom_len field returned from OPROMGETPROPLEN but is returned in the user buffer from the calls that return data, if the user buffer is allocated at least one byte larger than the property length.
