cc [ flag... ] file... -ldevinfo [ library... ] #include <libdevinfo.h> di_link_t di_link_next_by_node(di_lnode_t node, di_link_t link, uint_t endpoint); di_link_t di_link_next_by_lnode(di_node_t lnode, di_link_t link, uint_t endpoint); PARAMETERS
link The handle to the current the link or DI_LINK_NIL. endpoint Specify which endpoint of the link the node or lnode should correspond to, either DI_LINK_TGT or DI_LINK_SRC. node The device node with which the link is associated. lnode The lnode with which the link is associated. DESCRIPTION
The di_link_next_by_node() function returns a handle to the next link that has the same endpoint node as link. If link is DI_LINK_NIL, a handle is returned to the first link whose endpoint specified by endpoint matches the node specified by node. The di_link_next_by_lnode() function returns a handle to the next link that has the same endpoint lnode as link. If link is DI_LINK_NIL, a handle is returned to the first link whose endpoint specified by endpoint matches the lnode specified by lnode. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a handle to the next link is returned. Otherwise, DI_LINK_NIL is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The di_link_next_by_node() and di_link_next_by_lnode() functions will fail if: EINVAL An argument is invalid. ENXIO The end of the link list has been reached. The di_link_next_by_node() function will fail if: ENOTSUP Device usage information is not available in snapshot. ATTRIBUTES
