.Dt RESOURCE_QUERY_STRING 9
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm resource_query_string , resource_query_name , resource_query_unit
.Nd query the
.Dq hints
database for matches
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In sys/bus.h
.Ft int
.Fn resource_query_string "int num" "const char *field" "const char *what"
.Ft char *
.Fn resource_query_name "int num"
.Ft int
.Fn resource_query_unit "int num"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn resource_query_string
enumerates all devices in the
.Dq hints
database whose
.Fa field
value matches the
.Fa what
parameter.
A cookie is returned for use as the
.Fa num
parameter in calls to
.Fn resource_query_name
and
.Fn resource_query_unit .
This cookie should be passed as the
.Fa num
parameter on subsequent calls.
A return value of \-1 means no further matches exist.
.Pp
.Fn resource_query_name
returns the name of the device matched by
.Fn resource_query_string .
.Pp
.Fn resource_query_unit
returns the unit of the device matched by
.Fn resource_query_string .
.Pp
The functions take the following arguments:
.Bl -tag -width "field"
.It Fa num
is the
.Dq index
of the item to lookup.
Set to \-1 for the first call, and the return value of the previous
.Fn resource_query_string
on subsequent calls.
The
.Dq index
is an opaque cookie.
.It Fa field
is the name of the field in the
.Dq hints
database to query.
.It Fa what
is the value of
.Fa field
in the
.Dq hints
database for which to search.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn resource_query_string
returns \-1 on failure, otherwise a cookie to pass to
.Fn resource_query_name
or
.Fn resource_query_unit .
.Pp
.Fn resource_query_name
returns the device name matching the cookie.
.Pp
.Fn resource_query_unit
returns the device unit number matching the cookie.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example will return all the
.Dq hints
that say they are
.Dq Li "at gerbil0" .
.Pp
An example hint would be:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
hint.habitat.0.at="gerbil0"
hint.ewheel.0.at="gerbil0"
hint.fred.0.at="nexus"
.Ed
.Pp
The following code
.Bd -literal -offset indent
int i = -1;
while ((i = resource_query_string(i, "at", "gerbil0")) != -1) {
	printf("Found %s%d at gerbil0\en", resource_query_name(i),
	    resource_query_unit(i));
}
.Ed
.Pp
would produce two lines:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Found habitat0 at gerbil0
Found ewheel0 at gerbil0
