DESCRIPTION
The template validation functions offer a way to validate the configuration data of an service instance against the appropriate template
data. The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function returns the full set of errors for the specified instance, and those errors can be printed or
explored directly.
By default, the validation is performed on the composed data from the running snapshot of an instance. A different snapshot can be explic-
itly selected by specifying a valid snapshot name rather than NULL for the snapshot argument. If flags includes SCF_TMPL_VALIDATE_FLAG_CUR-
RENT, the snapshot argument is ignored and the current configuration is used.
By default, these functions also explore template data defined by the service or instance itself, the service's restarter, and global tem-
plate data. See smf_template(5) for more information about this composition.
An instance FMRI is required, and FMRIs that specify other entities (for example, services) are explicitly rejected.
The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function validates an instance FMRI against the template data in the repository. As described above, when the
snapshot argument is NULL, the default running snapshot is used. If scf_tmpl_errors_t ** is non-null, the structure is allocated and
returned to the caller for further perusal or printing of the errors.
The scf_tmpl_errors_destroy() function destroys and frees the scf_tmpl_errors_t and all of the scf_tmpl_error_t structures to which it
refers.
The scf_tmpl_next_error() function takes a pointer to a scf_tmpl_errors_t structure previously returned by scf_tmpl_validate_fmri(). On the
first call, it returns a pointer to the first scf_tmpl_error_t found during validation. On subsequent calls, the next error is returned. To
resume processing from the first error, the caller can use scf_tmpl_reset_errors().
The contents of an scf_tmpl_error_t are determined by its type. Types added as additional validation checks are introduced. Based on the
error type, a set of fields can be retrieved from the error.

The SCF_TERR_PROP_TYPE_MISMATCH, SCF_TERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE and SCF_TERR_INVALID_VALUE types are only set from calls to
scf_tmpl_value_in_constraint(3SCF).
The scf_tmpl_error_type() function retrieves the error type.
The scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri() function retrieves a string with the FMRI of the source of the template that was violated. This string is
freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl() function retrieves strings with the name and type of the property group template that was violated. If the
property group name or type was implicitly wildcarded (see smf_template(5)) in the template, this function returns a string containing
SCF_TMPL_WILDCARD ("*"). These strings are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_pg() function retrieves strings with the name and type of the property group that was violated. These strings are freed
by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl() function retrieves strings with the name and type of the property template that was violated. If the prop-
erty type was implicitly wildcarded (see smf_template(5)) in the template, this function returns a string containing SCF_TMPL_WILDCARD
("*"). These strings are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_prop() function retrieves strings with the name and type of the property that was violated. These strings are freed by
scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_value() function retrieves a string with the value containing the error in val. This string are freed by
scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_strerror() function takes an scf_tmpl_error_t previously returned by scf_tmpl_next_error() and returns in s. If flags includes
SCF_TMPL_STRERROR_HUMAN, s is a human-readable, localized description of the error. Otherwise, s is a one-line string suitable for logfile
output.
RETURN VALUES
The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function returns 0 on successful completion with no validation failures. It returns 1 if there are validation
failures. It returns -1 if there is an error validating the instance.
The scf_tmpl_next_error() function returns a pointer to the next scf_tmpl_error_t. When none remain, it returns NULL.
The scf_tmpl_error_type(), scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri(), scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_pg(), scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl(),
scf_tmpl_error_prop(), and scf_tmpl_error_value() functions return 0 on success and -1 on failure.
The scf_tmpl_strerror() function returns the number of bytes that would have been written to s if n had been sufficiently large.
ERRORS
The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_BACKEND_ACCESS
The storage mechanism that the repository server (svc.configd(1M)) chose for the operation denied access.
SCF_ERROR_CONNECTION_BROKEN
The connection to the repository was lost.
SCF_ERROR_DELETED
The instance or one of its template property group have been deleted.
SCF_ERROR_HANDLE_DESTROYED
The handle passed in has been destroyed.
SCF_ERROR_INTERNAL
An internal error occurred.
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The handle argument, FMRI argument, or snapshot name is invalid
SCF_ERROR_NO_MEMORY
There is not enough memory to validate the instance.
SCF_ERROR_NO_RESOURCES
The server does not have adequate resources to complete the request.
SCF_ERROR_NOT_BOUND
The handle is not currently bound.
SCF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND
An object matching FMRI does not exist in the repository, or the snapshot does not exist.
SCF_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIED
The instance or template could not be read due to access restrictions.
SCF_ERROR_TEMPLATE_INVALID
The template data is invalid.
The scf_tmpl_strerror(), scf_tmpl_error_type(), scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri(), scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_pg(),
scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_prop(), and scf_tmpl_error_value() functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT The scf_tmpl_errors_t argument is invalid.
The scf_tmpl_error_type(), scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri(), scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_pg(), scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl(),
scf_tmpl_error_prop(), and scf_tmpl_error_value() functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_NOT_FOUND The data requested is not available for the scf_tmpl_error_t argument supplied.
