hwi_next_item()

Arguments:

off

The offset, in bytes from the start of the hwinfo section, to start from.

Library:

libc

Use the -l c option to qcc to link against this library. This library is usually included automatically.

Description:

The hwi_next_item() function finds the next item in the hwinfo structure of the system page.

Returns:

The offset of the next item, or HWI_NULL_OFF if there isn't another item.

Examples:

This program produces a summary of the information that the pidin syspage=hwinfo command displays:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <hw/sysinfo.h>
#include <sys/syspage.h>

int main ( void )
{
    unsigned item_offset = 0, tag_offset = 0;
    struct hwi_item *curr_item, *curr_tag;
    int first_tag;

    printf ("Item              Offset  Owner  Tags\n");
    printf ("----              ------  -----  ----\n");
    
    while (item_offset != HWI_NULL_OFF)
    {
        /* Print the type, name, and offset of the current item */

        curr_item = hwi_off2tag (item_offset);  
        printf ("%-6s %-11s %3d",
                &SYSPAGE_ENTRY(strings)->data[curr_item->prefix.name],
                &SYSPAGE_ENTRY(strings)->data[curr_item->itemname],
                item_offset);
        
        /* Print the offset of the owner (if any) */

        if (curr_item->owner == HWI_NULL_OFF)
        {
            printf ("       ");
        } else {
            printf ("    %3d", curr_item->owner);
        }
        
        /* List the tags in this item */

        first_tag = 1;
        tag_offset = hwi_next_tag (item_offset, 1);

        while (tag_offset != HWI_NULL_OFF)
        {
            printf ("%s", first_tag ? "    " : ", ");
            first_tag = 0;
            
            curr_tag = hwi_off2tag (tag_offset);
            printf ("%s",
                    &SYSPAGE_ENTRY(strings)->data[curr_tag->prefix.name]);

            /* Get the offset of the next tag in the current item */

            tag_offset = hwi_next_tag (tag_offset, 1);
        }

        printf ("\n");
        
        /* Get the offset of the next item */

        item_offset = hwi_next_item (item_offset);
    }
    return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
