di_devlink_init(3DEVINFO)			       Device Information Library Functions				 di_devlink_init(3DEVINFO)

NAME
di_devlink_init, di_devlink_fini - create and destroy a snapshot of devlinks SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -ldevinfo [ library... ] #include <libdevinfo.h> di_devlink_handle_t di_devlink_init(const char *name, uint_t flags); int di_devlink_fini(di_devlink_handle_t *hdlp); PARAMETERS
flags The following values are supported: DI_MAKE_LINK Synchronize with devlink management before taking the snapshot. The name argument determines which devlink manage- ment activities must complete before taking a devlink snapshot. Appropriate privileges are required to use this flag. name If flags is DI_MAKE_LINK, name determines which devlink management activity must complete prior to snapshot. o If name is NULL then all devlink management activities must complete. The devlink snapshot returned accurately reflects the entire kernel device tree. o If name is a driver name, devlink management activities associated with nodes bound to that driver must complete. o If name is a path to a node in the kernel device tree (no "/devices" prefix), devlink management activities below node must complete. o If name is a path to a minor node in the kernel device tree (no "/devices"prefix), devlink management activities on that minor node must complete. hdlp The handle to the snapshot obtained by calling di_devlink_init(). DESCRIPTION
System management applications often need to map a "/devices" path to a minor node to a public "/dev" device name. The di_devlink_*() func- tions provide an efficient way to accomplish this. The di_devlink_init() function takes a snapshot of devlinks and returns a handle to this snapshot. The di_devlink_fini() function destroys the devlink snapshot and frees the associated memory. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, di_devlink_init() returns a handle to a devlink snapshot. Otherwise, DI_LINK_NIL is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. Upon successful completion, di_devlink_fini() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
The di_devlink_init() function will fail if: EINVAL One or more arguments is invalid. The di_devlink_init() function with DI_MAKE_LINK can also fail if: EPERM The user does no have appropriate privileges. The di_devlink_init() function can set errno to any error value that can also be set by malloc(3C), open(2), ioctl(2), or mmap(2). ATTRIBUTES
