|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In geom/geom.h
|
|
.Ft "struct g_consumer *"
|
|
.Fn g_new_consumer "struct g_geom *gp"
|
|
.Ft void

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
A GEOM consumer is the backdoor through which a geom connects to
|
|
another GEOM provider and through which I/O requests are sent.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_new_consumer
|
|
function creates a new consumer on geom
|
|
.Fa gp .
|
|
Before using the new consumer, it has to be attached to a provider with
|
|
.Xr g_attach 9
|
|
and opened with
|
|
.Xr g_access 9 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_destroy_consumer
|
|
function destroys the given consumer and cancels all related pending events.
|
|
This function is the last stage of killing an unwanted consumer.
|
|
.Sh RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
|
|
.Fn g_new_consumer :
|
|
.Bl -item -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
The geom
|
|
.Fa gp
|
|
has to have an
|
|
.Va orphan
|
|
method defined.
|
|
.It
|
|
The topology lock has to be held.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn g_destroy_consumer :
|
|
.Bl -item -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
The consumer must not be attached to a provider.
|
|
.It
|
|
The access count has to be 0.
|
|
.It
|
|
The topology lock has to be held.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn g_new_consumer
|
|
function
|
|
returns a pointer to the newly created consumer.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
Create consumer, attach it to given provider, gain read access and clean up.
