hwitag_find_busattr()

QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper

Find a bus attribute tag associated with a bus

Synopsis:

#include <drvr/hwinfo.h>

int hwitag_find_busattr( unsigned hwi_off,
                         unsigned *busattr_idx,
                         struct hwi_busattr *busattr );

Arguments:

hwi_off
The offset into the hwinfo section of the system page for the device, which you can get by calling hwi_find_device().
busattr_idx
The index of the bus attribute; see below.
busattr
A pointer to a struct hwi_busattr where the function can store the attribute.

Description:

You can use hwitag_find_busattr() to find one or more bus attribute tags associated with the bus at hwi_off in the hwinfo section of the system page.

If the specified bus attribute tag exists and busattr isn't NULL, the retrieved bus attributes are placed in *busattr.

Some buses contain multiple sets of attributes. You can retrieve all of them by using the busattr_idx parameter as follows:

  • On the first call, set *busattr_idx to 0. The first bus attribute (if one exists) is returned in *busattr.
  • You can then continue to call hwitag_find_busattr() with the same arguments until NULL is returned.
  • If you know that there's more than one set of bus attributes for the specified bus, you can set *busattr_idx to the entry number of the desired attribute tag. If that entry exists, it's returned. For example, to obtain the third bus attribute for hwi_off, set *busattr_idx to 2 (base-0 indexing applies).
  • If you're interested only in the first attribute, you can pass NULL for busattr_idx (which is the same as setting *busattr_idx to 0).

Returns:

0 on success (independent of whether busattr is NULL), or -1 on error.
