functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <libscf.h>

scf_prop_tmpl_t *scf_tmpl_prop_create(scf_handle_t *handle);

void scf_tmpl_prop_reset(scf_prop_tmpl_t *prop_tmpl);

void scf_tmpl_prop_destroy(scf_prop_tmpl_t *prop_tmpl);

int scf_tmpl_get_by_prop(scf_pg_tmpl_t *pg_tmpl,
const char *prop, scf_prop_tmpl_t *prop_tmpl, int flags)

int scf_tmpl_iter_props(scf_pg_tmpl_t *pg_tmpl, const char *fmri,
scf_prop_tmpl_t *prop_tmpl, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

The template property functions locate and give access to metadata
about properties. They require that the template for the property
group containing the property has already been located by one of the
scf_tmpl_pg_create(3SCF) suite of functions.

Once retrieved, the scf_prop_tmpl_t can be explored using the
scf_tmpl_prop_name(3SCF) suite of functions.

Before calling scf_tmpl_get_by_prop() or scf_tmpl_iter_props(), the
scf_prop_tmpl_t must be allocated by scf_tmpl_prop_create. The
scf_prop_tmpl_t can be reset to contain no template information with
scf_tmpl_prop_reset(), so that it can be used to start an iteration
from scratch. All associated memory can be freed with
scf_tmpl_prop_destroy().

The scf_tmpl_get_by_prop() function locates template data about the
property name specified.

The scf_tmpl_iter_props() function iterates across all property
templates defined in the specified property group template.

The iterator state for scf_tmpl_iter_props() is stored on the
property template data structure. The data structure should be
allocated with scf_tmpl_prop_create(), and to continue the iteration
the previously returned structure should be passed in as an argument.

RETURN VALUES

The scf_tmpl_get_by_prop() function returns -1 on failure and 0 on
success.

The scf_tmpl_iter_props() function returns 1 on successful
completion. If the iteration is complete, it returns 0. It returns -1
on error.

ERRORS

The scf_tmpl_get_by_prop() and scf_tmpl_iter_props() functions will
fail if:
