LDI_GET_DEV(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers LDI_GET_DEV(9F)

NAME

ldi_get_dev, ldi_get_otyp, ldi_get_devid, ldi_get_minor_name - Extract
information from a layered handle

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/sunldi.h>

int ldi_get_dev(ldi_handle_t lh, dev_t *devp);


int ldi_get_otyp(ldi_handle_t lh, int *otyp);


int ldi_get_devid(ldi_handle_t lh, ddi_devid_t *devid);


int ldi_get_minor_name(ldi_handle_t lh, char **minor_name);

PARAMETERS

lh
Layered handle


otyp
Indicates on which interface the driver was opened. Valid
settings are:

OTYP_BLK
Open device block interface.


OTYP_CHR
Open device character interface.


devp
Pointer to a device number.


devid
Device ID.


minor_name
Minor device node name.

DESCRIPTION

The ldi_get_dev() function retrieves the dev_t associated with a layered
handle.


The ldi_get_otyp() retrieves the open flag that was used to open the
device associated with the layered handle.


The ldi_get_devid() function retrieves a devid for the device associated
with the layered handle. The caller should use ddi_devid_free() to free
the devid when done with it.


The ldi_get_minor_name() function retrieves the name of the minor node
opened for the device associated with the layered handle.
ldi_get_minor_name() allocates a buffer containing the minor node name
and returns it via the minor_name parameter. The caller should use
kmem_free() to release the buffer when done with it.

RETURN VALUES

The ldi_get_dev(), ldi_get_otyp(), ldi_get_devid(), and ldi_get_devid()
functions return 0 upon success.


In case of an error, the following values may be returned:

EINVAL
Invalid input parameters.


ENOTSUP
The operation is not supported for this device.

CONTEXT

These functions may be called from user or kernel context.
