104An 32-bit unsigned value.
105.It Fa perm
106An 8-bit unsigned value which is the bitwise inclusive OR of the

108.Bl -tag -width Ds

110This flag indicates that a property is

113This flag indicates that a property is
114.Sy writable .
115.It Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_RW
116This flag indicates that a property is both
117.Sy readable
118and
119.Sy writable .
120This is equivalent to specifying both
121.Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_READ
122and
123.Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_WRITE .
124.El
125.It Fa low
126A 32-bit unsigned value that represents the lowest possible value of an

130integer property, generally inclusive.

132.Sh DESCRIPTION
133The
134.Sy mac_prop_info
135family of functions are used to fill in metadata about a given property
136as part of a driver's
137.Xr mc_propinfo 9E
138entry point.
139These functions can be used to fill in information about the default value that
140the device assigns to a property and the permissions that a privileged user has
141to update the property.
142.Pp
143The
144.Fn mac_prop_info_set_perm
145function is used to set the permissions of a property.
146These permissions indicate whether or not the property can be read or modified
147from the device driver's perspective.
148The permissions for a given property should generally not change for a given
149device and they do not need to take into account user privileges.
150For the most case, properties will only take one of two values:
151.Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_READ
152or
153.Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_RW .
154Usually it does not make sense for a property to just have
155.Sy MAC_PROP_PERM_WRITE .
156.Pp
157Subsequent calls to the
158.Fn mac_prop_info_set_perm
159function will override the values stored in previous calls.
160.Pp
161The
162.Fn mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32
163function is used to indicate a range of possible integer values that a
164device may take.
165This range is generally inclusive, meaning the property may be set to any value
166in the range of
167.Fa low
168to
169.Fa high .
170Each time the
171.Fn mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32
172function is called, a new property range is added, allowing for multiple
173disjoint ranges to be specified for a given property.
174.Pp
175The remaining functions,
176.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_fec ,
177.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl ,
178.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_str ,
179.Fn mac_prop_info_set_uint8 ,
180.Fn mac_prop_info_set_uint16 ,
181.Fn mac_prop_info_set_uint32 ,
182and
183.Fn mac_prop_info_set_range_uint32
184update the default value of a given property.
185The default value is the initial value that the property takes after the device
186driver has called
187.Xr mac_register 9F .
188If these functions are called multiple times, then the default value
189will be replaced with each call.
190.Pp
191The different functions each support a different type of default value
192and some are used for specific properties.
193The
194.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_link_flowctrl
195function works with properties that describe flow control properties.
196The various values of a
197.Ft link_flowctrl_t
198are documented in
199.Xr mac 9E .
200.Pp
201The
202.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_str
203function sets the default value for properties that use strings.
204The device driver should ensure that it uses alphanumeric ASCII characters
205only in the string to guarantee portability.
206.Pp
207The
208.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_uint8 ,
209.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_uint16 ,
210and
211.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_uint32
212functions set the default value for values whose properties are 8-, 16-,
213and 32-bit unsigned values respectively.
214.Pp
215The
216.Fn mac_prop_info_set_default_fec
217function is used for properties that describe link forward error
218correction values such as
219.Dv MAC_PROP_EN_FEC_CAP
220and
221.Dv MAC_PROP_ADV_FEC_CAP .
222The various values of a
223.Ft link_fec_t
224are documented in
225.Xr mac 9E .
226.Sh CONTEXT
227These functions are generally called on a handle passed into the
228.Xr mc_propinfo 9E
229entry point, though they function in both
230.Sy user
231and
232.Sy kernel
233context.
234.Sh RETURN VALUES
235All of the functions documented here do not return a value.
236It is not the driver's responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient space
237for permissions, ranges, or default values in the
238.Ft mac_prop_info_handle_t
239structures: the surrounding driver framework will transparently take
240care of that and ensure that errors are correctly propagated.
