33.Bl -tag -width Fa
34.It Fa driver
35A pointer to the driver's private data that was passed in via the
36.Sy m_pdata
37member of the
38.Xr mac_register 9S
39structure to the
40.Xr mac_register 9F
41function.
42.It Fa pr_name
43A null-terminated string that contains the name of the property.
44.It Fa pr_num
45A constant that is used to identify the property.
46.It Fa pr_valsize
47A value that indicates the size in bytes of
48.Fa pr_val .
49.It Fa pr_val
50A pointer to a
51.Fa pr_valsize
52byte buffer that contains the new value of the property.
53.El
54.Sh DESCRIPTION
55The
56.Fn mc_setprop
57entry point is used to set the value of a given device's property from
58the copy stored in
59.Fa pr_val .
60.Pp
61When the
62.Fn mc_setprop
63entry point is called, the driver needs to first identify the property.
64The set of possible properties and their meaning is listed in the
65.Sx PROPERTIES
66section of
67.Xr mac 9E .
68It should identify the property based on the value of
69.Fa pr_num .
70Most drivers will use a
71.Sy switch
72statement and for any property that it supports it should then check if
73the value in
74.Fa pr_valsize
75is sufficient for the property, comparing it to the minimum size
76listed for the property in
77.Xr mac 9E .
78If it is not, then it should return an error.
79Otherwise, it should update the property based on the value in
80.Fa pr_val .
81When an unknown or unsupported property is encountered, generally the
82.Sy default
83case of the switch statement, the device driver should return an error.
84.Pp
85The special property
86.Sy MAC_PROP_PRIVATE
87indicates that this is a device driver specific private property.
88The device driver must then look at the value of the
89.Fa pr_name
90argument and use
91.Xr strcmp 9F
92on it, comparing it to each of its private properties to identify which
93one it is.
94.Pp
95Not all properties are supposed to be writable.
96Some devices may opt to not allow a property that is designated as read/write to
97be set.
98When such a property is encountered, the driver should return the appropriate
99error.
100.Pp
101The device
102driver can access its device soft state by casting the
103.Fa device
104pointer to the appropriate structure.
105As this may be called while other operations are ongoing, the device driver
106should employ the appropriate locking while writing the properties.
107.Sh RETURN VALUES
108Upon successful completion, the device driver should have copied the
109value of the property into
110.Fa pr_val
111and return
112.Sy 0 .
113Otherwise, a positive error should be returned to indicate failure.
114.Sh EXAMPLES
115The following examples shows how a device driver might structure its
116.Fn mc_setporp
117entry point.

121/*
122 * Note, this example merely shows the structure of this function.
123 * Different devices will manage their state in different ways. Like other
124 * examples, this assumes that the device has state in a structure called
125 * example_t and that there is a lock which keeps track of that state.
126 *
127 * For the purpose of this example, we assume that this device supports 100 Mb,
128 * 1 GB, and 10 Gb full duplex speeds.

213.Ed
214.Sh ERRORS
215The device driver may return one of the following errors.
216While this list is not intended to be exhaustive, it is recommended to use one
217of these if possible.
218.Bl -tag -width Er
219.It Er EINVAL
220The contents of
221.Fa pr_val
222are outside the valid range for the property.
223.It Er ENOTSUP
224This error should be used whenever an unknown or unsupported property is
225encountered.
226It should also be used when the property is not writable.
227.It Er EOVERFLOW
228This error should be used when
229.Fa pr_valsize
230is smaller than the required size for a given value.
231.It Er EBUSY
232This error should be used when a property can't be set because the
233device has started.
234Note that device driver writers are encouraged to design device drivers such
235that this error is not possible.
236.It Er ECANCELLED
237The device is in a state that does not allow it to handle data;
238for example, it's suspended.
