NAME

       di_link_spectype, di_link_to_lnode - return libdevinfo link information

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldevinfo [ library... ]
       #include <libdevinfo.h>

       int di_link_spectype(di_link_t link);

       di_lnode_t di_link_to_lnode(di_link_t link, uint_t endpoint);

PARAMETERS

       link	       A handle to a link.

       endpoint        specifies the endpoint of the link, which should correspond to either DI_LINK_TGT or DI_LINK_SRC

DESCRIPTION

       The di_link_spectype() function returns libdevinfo link information.

       The  di_link_to_lnode()	function takes a link specified by link and returns the lnode corresponding to the link endpoint specified by end-
       point.

RETURN VALUES

       The di_link_spectype() function returns the spectype parameter flag that was used to open the target device of a link,  either  S_IFCHR	or
       S_IFBLK.

       Upon  successful  completion, di_link_to_lnode() returns a handle to an lnode. Otherwise, DI_LINK_NIL is returned and errno is set to indi-
       cate the error.

ERRORS

       The di_link_to_lnode() function will fail if:

       EINVAL	       An argument is invalid.
