PARAMETERS

names
The address of a pointer.

node
A handle to a device node.

DESCRIPTION

These functions extract information associated with a device node.

RETURN VALUES

The di_binding_name() function returns a pointer to the binding name.
The binding name is the name used by the system to select a driver
for the device.

The di_bus_addr() function returns a pointer to a null-terminated
string containing the assigned bus address for the device. NULL is
returned if a bus address has not been assigned to the device. A
zero-length string may be returned and is considered a valid bus
address.

The return value of di_compatible_names() is the number of compatible
names. names is updated to point to a buffer contained within the
snapshot. The buffer contains a concatenation of null-terminated
strings, for example:

<name1>/0<name2>/0...<namen>/0

See the discussion of generic names in Writing Device Drivers for a
description of how compatible names are used by Solaris to achieve
driver binding for the node.

The di_devid() function returns the device ID for node, if it is
registered. Otherwise, a null pointer is returned. Interfaces in the
libdevid(3LIB) library may be used to manipulate the handle to the
device id. This function is obsolete and might be removed from a
future Solaris release. Applications should use the "devid" property
instead.

The di_driver_name() function returns the name of the driver bound to
the node. A null pointer is returned if node is not bound to any
driver.

The di_driver_ops() function returns a bit array of device driver
entry points that are supported by the driver bound to this node.
Possible bit fields supported by the driver are DI_CB_OPS,
DI_BUS_OPS, DI_STREAM_OPS.

The di_driver_major() function returns the major number associated
with the driver bound to node. If there is no driver bound to the
node, this function returns -1.

The di_instance() function returns the instance number of the device.
A value of -1 indicates an instance number has not been assigned to
the device by the system.

The di_nodeid() function returns the type of device, which may be
one of the following possible values: DI_PSEUDO_NODEID,
DI_PROM_NODEID, and DI_SID_NODEID. Devices of type DI_PROM_NODEID may
have additional properties that are defined by the PROM. See
di_prom_prop_data(3DEVINFO) and di_prom_prop_lookup_bytes(3DEVINFO).

The di_node_name() function returns a pointer to a null-terminated
string containing the node name.

EXAMPLES

See di_init(3DEVINFO) for an example demonstrating typical use of
these functions.
