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

NAME

       csx_Parse_CISTPL_GEOMETRY - parse the Geometry tuple

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/pccard.h>

       int32_t csx_Parse_CISTPL_GEOMETRY(client_handle_t ch, tuple_t *tu, cistpl_geometry_t *pt);

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI Specific (Solaris DDI)

PARAMETERS

       ch	Client handle returned from csx_RegisterClient(9F).

       tu	Pointer to a tuple_t structure (see tuple(9S)) returned by a call to csx_GetFirstTuple(9F) or csx_GetNextTuple(9F).

       pt	Pointer  to  a cistpl_geometry_t structure which contains the parsed CISTPL_GEOMETRY tuple information upon return from this func-
		tion.

DESCRIPTION

       This function parses the Geometry tuple, CISTPL_GEOMETRY, into a form usable by PC Card drivers.

       The CISTPL_GEOMETRY tuple indicates the geometry of a disk-like device.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

       The structure members of cistpl_geometry_t are:

	  uint32_t     spt;
	  uint32_t     tpc;
	  uint32_t     ncyl;

       The fields are defined as follows:

       spt	       This field indicates the number of sectors per track.

       tpc	       This field indicates the number of tracks per cylinder.

       ncyl	       This field indicates the number of cylinders.

RETURN VALUES

       CS_SUCCESS		       Successful operation.

       CS_BAD_HANDLE		       Client handle is invalid.

       CS_UNKNOWN_TUPLE 	       Parser does not know how to parse tuple.

       CS_NO_CARD		       No PC Card in socket.

       CS_NO_CIS		       No Card Information Structure (CIS) on PC Card.

       CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION	       No PCMCIA hardware installed.

CONTEXT

       This function may be called from user or kernel context.
