SYNOPSIS

#include <libcontract.h>
#include <sys/contract/device.h>

int ct_dev_tmpl_set_aset(int fd, uint_t aset);


int ct_dev_tmpl_get_aset(int fd, uint_t *asetp);


int ct_dev_tmpl_set_minor(int fd, char *minor);


int ct_dev_tmpl_get_minor(int fd, char *buf, size_t *buflenp);


int ct_dev_tmpl_set_noneg(int fd);


int ct_dev_tmpl_clear_noneg(int fd);


int ct_dev_tmpl_get_noneg(int fd, uint_t *nonegp);


PARAMETERS


aset
a bitset of one or more of device states


asetp
a pointer to a variable into which the current A-set is to
be returned


buf
a buffer into which the minor path is to be returned


buflenp
a pointer to variable of type size_t in which the size of
the buffer buf is passed in. If the buffer is too small
the size of the buffer needed for a successful call is
passed back to the caller.


fd
a file descriptor from an open of the device contract
template file in the contract filesystem (ctfs)


minor
the devfs path (the /devices path without the "/devices"
prefix) of a minor which is to be the subject of a
contract


nonegp
a pointer to a uint_t variable for receiving the current
setting of the "nonnegotiable" term in the template


DESCRIPTION


These functions read and write device contract terms and operate on
device contract template file descriptors obtained from the
contract(5) filesystem (ctfs).


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_aset() and ct_dev_tmpl_get_aset() functions write
and read the "acceptable states" set (or A-set for short). This is
the set of device states guaranteed by the contract. Any departure
from these states will result in the breaking of the contract and a
delivery of a critical contract event to the contract holder. The A-
set value is a bitset of one or more of the following device states:
CT_DEV_EV_ONLINE, CT_DEV_EV_DEGRADED, and CT_DEV_EV_OFFLINE.


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_minor() and ct_dev_tmpl_get_minor() functions
write and read the minor term (the device resource that is to be the
subject of the contract.) The value is a devfs path to a device minor
node (minus the "/devices" prefix). For the ct_dev_tmpl_get_minor()
function, a buffer at least PATH_MAX in size must be passed in. If
the buffer is smaller than PATH_MAX, then the minimum size of the
buffer required (PATH_MAX) for this function is passed back to the
caller via the buflenp argument.


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_noneg() and ct_dev_tmpl_get_noneg() functions
write and read the nonnegotiable term. If this term is set,
synchronous negotiation events are automatically NACKed on behalf of
the contract holder. For ct_dev_tmpl_get_noneg(), the variable
pointed to by nonegp is set to 1 if the "noneg" term is set or to 0
otherwise. The ct_dev_tmpl_clear_noneg() term clears the
nonnegotiable term from a template.

RETURN VALUES


Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, they
return a non-zero error value.

ERRORS


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_aset() function will fail if:

EINVAL
A template file descriptor or A-set is invalid


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_minor() function will fail if:

EINVAL
One or more arguments is invalid.


ENXIO
The minor named by minor path does not exist.


The ct_dev_tmpl_set_noneg() function will fail if:

EPERM
A process lacks sufficient privilege to NACK a device state
change.


The ct_dev_tmpl_get_aset() and ct_dev_tmpl_get_minor() functions will
fail if:

EINVAL
One or more arguments is invalid.


ENOENT
The requested term is not set.


The ct_dev_tmpl_get_noneg() function will fail if:

EINVAL
One or more arguments is invalid.


The ct_dev_tmpl_get_minor() function will fail if:

EOVERFLOW
The supplied buffer is too small.
