122 .Sh DESCRIPTION
123 The CAM library consists of a number of functions designed to aid in
124 programming with the CAM subsystem. This man page covers the basic set of
125 library functions. More functions are documented in the man pages listed
126 below.
127 .Pp
128 Many of the CAM library functions use the
129 .Va cam_device
130 structure:
131 .Bd -literal
132 struct cam_device {
133 char device_path[MAXPATHLEN+1];/*
134 * Pathname of the
135 * device given by the
136 * user. This may be
137 * null if the user
138 * states the device
139 * name and unit number
140 * separately.
141 */
142 char given_dev_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
143 * Device name given by
144 * the user.
145 */
146 u_int32_t given_unit_number; /*
147 * Unit number given by
148 * the user.
149 */
150 char device_name[DEV_IDLEN+1];/*
151 * Name of the device,
152 * e.g. 'pass'
153 */
154 u_int32_t dev_unit_num; /* Unit number of the passthrough
155 * device associated with this
156 * particular device.
157 */
159 char sim_name[SIM_IDLEN+1];/*
160 * Controller name, e.g.'ahc'
161 */
162 u_int32_t sim_unit_number; /* Controller unit number */
163 u_int32_t bus_id; /* Controller bus number */
164 lun_id_t target_lun; /* Logical Unit Number */
165 target_id_t target_id; /* Target ID */
166 path_id_t path_id; /* System SCSI bus number */
167 u_int16_t pd_type; /* type of peripheral device */
168 struct scsi_inquiry_data inq_data; /* SCSI Inquiry data */
169 u_int8_t serial_num[252]; /* device serial number */
170 u_int8_t serial_num_len; /* length of the serial number */
171 u_int8_t sync_period; /* Negotiated sync period */
172 u_int8_t sync_offset; /* Negotiated sync offset */
173 u_int8_t bus_width; /* Negotiated bus width */
174 int fd; /* file descriptor for device */
175 };
176 .Ed
177 .Pp
178 .Fn cam_open_device
179 takes as arguments a string describing the device it is to open, and
180 .Ar flags
181 suitable for passing to
182 .Xr open 2 .
183 The "path" passed in may actually be most any type of string that contains
184 a device name and unit number to be opened. The string will be parsed by
185 .Fn cam_get_device
186 into a device name and unit number. Once the device name and unit number
187 are determined, a lookup is performed to determine the passthrough device
188 that corresponds to the given device.
189 .Fn cam_open_device
190 is rather simple to use, but it isn't really suitable for general use
191 because its behavior isn't necessarily deterministic. Programmers writing
192 new applications should make the extra effort to use one of the other open
193 routines documented below.
194 .Pp
195 .Fn cam_open_spec_device
196 opens the
197 .Xr pass 4
198 device that corresponds to the device name and unit number passed in. The
199 .Ar flags
200 should be flags suitable for passing to
201 .Xr open 2 .
202 The
203 .Ar device
204 argument is optional. The user may supply pre-allocated space for the
205 .Va cam_device
206 structure. If the
207 .Ar device
208 argument is
209 .Va NULL ,
210 .Fn cam_open_spec_device
211 will allocate space for the
212 .Va cam_device
213 structure using
214 .Xr malloc 3 .
215 .Pp
216 .Fn cam_open_btl
217 is similar to
218 .Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
219 except that it takes a
220 .Tn SCSI
221 bus, target and logical unit instead of a device name and unit number as
222 arguments. The
223 .Va path_id
224 argument is the CAM equivalent of a
225 .Tn SCSI
226 bus number. It represents the logical bus number in the system. The
227 .Ar flags
228 should be flags suitable for passing to
229 .Xr open 2 .
230 As with
231 .Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
232 the
233 .Fa device
234 argument is optional.
235 .Pp
236 .Fn cam_open_pass
237 takes as an argument the
238 .Fa path
239 of a
240 .Xr pass 4
241 device to open. No translation or lookup is performed, so the path passed
242 in must be that of a CAM
243 .Xr pass 4
244 device. The
245 .Fa flags
246 should be flags suitable for passing to
247 .Xr open 2 .
248 The
249 .Fa device
250 argument, as with
251 .Fn cam_open_spec_device
252 and
253 .Fn cam_open_btl ,
254 should be NULL if the user wants the CAM library to allocate space for the
255 .Va cam_device
256 structure.
257 .Fn cam_close_device
258 frees the
259 .Va cam_device
260 structure allocated by one of the above open() calls, and closes the file
261 descriptor to the passthrough device. This routine should not be called if
262 the user allocated space for the
263 .Va cam_device
264 structure. Instead, the user should call
265 .Fn cam_close_spec_device .
266 .Pp
267 .Fn cam_close_spec_device
268 merely closes the file descriptor opened in one of the open() routines
269 described above. This function should be called when the
270 .Va cam_device
271 structure was allocated by the caller, rather than the CAM library.
272 .Pp
273 .Fn cam_getccb
274 allocates a CCB
275 using
276 .Xr malloc 3
277 and sets fields in the CCB header using values from the
278 .Va cam_device
279 structure.
280 .Pp
281 .Fn cam_send_ccb
282 sends the given
283 .Va ccb
284 to the
285 .Fa device
286 described in the
287 .Va cam_device
288 structure.
289 .Pp
290 .Fn cam_freeccb
291 frees CCBs allocated by
292 .Fn cam_getccb .
293 .Pp
294 .Fn cam_path_string
295 takes as arguments a
296 .Va cam_device
297 structure, and a string with length
298 .Fa len .
299 It creates a colon-terminated printing prefix string similar to the ones
300 used by the kernel. e.g.: "(cd0:ahc1:0:4:0): ".
301 .Fn cam_path_string
302 will place at most
303 .Fa len Ns \-1
304 characters into
305 .Ar str .
306 The
307 .Ar len Ns 'th
308 character will be the terminating
309 .Ql \e0 .
310 .Pp
311 .Fn cam_device_dup
312 operates in a fashion similar to
313 .Xr strdup 3 .
314 It allocates space for a
315 .Va cam_device
316 structure and copies the contents of the passed-in
317 .Fa device
318 structure to the newly allocated structure.
319 .Pp
320 .Fn cam_device_copy
321 copies the
322 .Fa src
323 structure to
324 .Fa dst .
325 .Pp
326 .Fn cam_get_device
327 takes a
328 .Fa path
329 argument containing a string with a device name followed by a unit number.
330 It then breaks the string down into a device name and unit number, and
331 passes them back in
332 .Fa dev_name
333 and
334 .Fa unit ,
335 respectively.
336 .Fn cam_get_device
337 can handle strings of the following forms, at least:
338 .Pp
339 .Bl -tag -width 1234 -compact
340 .It /dev/foo0a
341 .It /dev/foo1s2c
342 .It foo0
343 .It foo0a
344 .It nfoo0
345 .El
346 .Pp
347 .Fn cam_get_device
348 is provided as a convenience function for applications that need to provide
349 functionality similar to
350 .Fn cam_open_device .
351 Programmers are encouraged to use more deterministic methods of obtaining
352 device names and unit numbers if possible.
353 .Sh RETURN VALUES
354 .Fn cam_open_device ,
355 .Fn cam_open_spec_device ,
356 .Fn cam_open_btl ,
357 and
358 .Fn cam_open_pass
359 return a pointer to a
360 .Va cam_device
361 structure, or NULL if there was an error.
362 .Pp
363 .Fn cam_getccb
364 returns an allocated and partially initialized CCB, or NULL if allocation
365 of the CCB failed.
366 .Pp
367 .Fn cam_send_ccb
368 returns a value of -1 if an error occurred, and
369 .Va errno
370 is set to indicate the error.
371 .Pp
372 .Fn cam_path_string
373 returns a filled printing prefix string as a convenience. This is the same
374 .Fa str
375 that is passed into
376 .Fn cam_path_string .
377 .Pp
378 .Fn cam_device_dup
379 returns a copy of the
380 .Va device
381 passed in, or NULL if an error occurred.
382 .Pp
383 .Fn cam_get_device
384 returns 0 for success, and -1 to indicate failure.
385 .Pp
386 If an error is returned from one of the base CAM library functions
387 described here, the reason for the error is generally printed in the global
388 string
389 .Va cam_errbuf
390 which is
391 .Dv CAM_ERRBUF_SIZE
392 characters long.

402 .Sh BUGS
403 .Fn cam_open_device
404 doesn't check to see if the
405 .Fa path
406 passed in is a symlink to something. It also doesn't check to see if the
407 .Fa path
408 passed in is an actual
409 .Xr pass 4
410 device. The former would be rather easy to implement, but the latter would
411 require a definitive way to identify a device node as a
412 .Xr pass 4
413 device.
414 .Pp
415 Some of the functions are possibly mis-named or poorly named.
