NAME
ddi_peek, ddi_peek8, ddi_peek16, ddi_peek32, ddi_peek64, ddi_peekc, ddi_peeks, ddi_peekl, ddi_peekd - read a value from a location SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int ddi_peek8(dev_info_t *dip, int8_t *addr, int8_t *valuep); int ddi_peek16(dev_info_t *dip, int16_t *addr, int16_t *valuep); int ddi_peek32(dev_info_t *dip, int32_t *addr, int32_t *valuep); int ddi_peek64(dev_info_t *dip, int64_t *addr, int64_t *valuep); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). The ddi_peekc(), ddi_peeks(), ddi_peekl(), and ddi_peekd() functions are obsolete. Use, respectively, ddi_peek8(), ddi_peek16(), ddi_peek32(), and ddi_peek64(), instead. PARAMETERS
dip A pointer to the device's dev_info structure. addr Virtual address of the location to be examined. valuep Pointer to a location to hold the result. If a null pointer is specified, then the value read from the location will simply be discarded. DESCRIPTION
These routines cautiously attempt to read a value from a specified virtual address, and return the value to the caller, using the parent nexus driver to assist in the process where necessary. If the address is not valid, or the value cannot be read without an error occurring, an error code is returned. The routines are most useful when first trying to establish the presence of a device on the system in a driver's probe(9E) or attach(9E) routines. RETURN VALUES
DDI_SUCCESS The value at the given virtual address was successfully read, and if valuep is non-null, *valuep will have been updated. DDI_FAILURE An error occurred while trying to read the location. *valuep is unchanged. CONTEXT
These functions can be called from user or interrupt context. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Checking to see that the status register of a device is mapped into the kernel address space: if (ddi_peek8(dip, csr, (int8_t *)0) != DDI_SUCCESS) { cmn_err(CE_WARN, "Status register not mapped"); return (DDI_FAILURE); } Example 2: Reading and logging the device type of a particular device: int xx_attach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd) { ... /* map device registers */ ... if (ddi_peek32(dip, id_addr, &id_value) != DDI_SUCCESS) { cmn_err(CE_WARN, "%s%d: cannot read device identifier", ddi_get_name(dip), ddi_get_instance(dip)); goto failure; } else cmn_err(CE_CONT, "!%s%d: device type 0x%x ", ddi_get_name(dip), ddi_get_instance(dip), id_value); ... ... ddi_report_dev(dip); return (DDI_SUCCESS); failure: /* free any resources allocated */ ... return (DDI_FAILURE); } SEE ALSO
attach(9E), probe(9E), ddi_poke(9F) Writing Device Drivers NOTES
The functions described in this manual page previously used symbolic names which specified their data access size; the function names have been changed so they now specify a fixed-width data size.
