.Dt OPENPROM 4 sparc64
|
|
.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm openprom
|
|
.Nd "OPENPROM interface"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/ioctl.h
|
|
.In dev/ofw/openpromio.h
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /dev/openfirm
|
|
device is a
|
|
.Tn SunOS /
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
compatible interface to the
|
|
.Tn Open Firmware
|
|
device tree.
|
|
This interface is similar to the
|
|
.Xr openprom 4
|
|
interface.
|
|
It uses
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls for all operations.
|
|
These calls refer to the nodes in the
|
|
.Tn Open Firmware
|
|
device tree.
|
|
However,
|
|
.Fx
|
|
only implements a subset of the
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls
|
|
.Tn SunOS /
|
|
.Tn Solaris
|
|
does.
|
|
The nodes are represented by integer values,
|
|
which are simply describing data areas.
|
|
Occasionally the number 0 may be used or returned instead,
|
|
as described below.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All calls use a pointer to a
|
|
.Vt "struct openpromio"
|
|
descriptor,
|
|
which has the following definition:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct openpromio {
|
|
uint32_t oprom_size;
|
|
char oprom_array[];
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Va oprom_size
|
|
member refers to the size of
|
|
.Va oprom_array .
|
|
The
|
|
.Va oprom_array
|
|
member actually works like a union.
|
|
Depending on the
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
call and whether the
|
|
.Vt "struct openpromio"
|
|
is used to pass in or return data,
|
|
.Va oprom_array
|
|
either contains an integer referring to a node or a string referring to a
|
|
property name or property value.
|
|
The maximum size of
|
|
.Va oprom_array
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv OPROMMAXPARAM .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
calls are currently implemented:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Dv OPROMGETPROP"
|
|
.It Dv OPROMNEXT
|
|
Takes the number of a node and returns the number of the next node in the
|
|
.Tn Open Firmware
|
|
device tree.
|
|
The node following the last node is number 0.
|
|
The node following number 0 is the first node.
|
|
.It Dv OPROMCHILD
|
|
Takes the number of a node and returns the number of the first child of that
|
|
node.
|
|
This child may have siblings.
|
|
These can be determined by using
|
|
.Dv OPROMNEXT .
|
|
If the node does not have a child,
|
|
0 is returned.
|
|
.It Dv OPROMGETPROP
|
|
Takes the name of a property.
|
|
Returns the property value.
|
|
The
|
|
.Dv OPROMGETPROP
|
|
call refers to the node previously returned by either the
|
|
.Dv OPROMNEXT
|
|
or the
|
|
.Dv OPROMCHILD
|
|
call,
|
|
depending on which one was invoked last.
|
|
If the property referenced by the given name is not associated with that node,
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
is returned.
|
|
If the named property exists but has no value,
|
|
an empty string is returned.
|
|
.It Dv OPROMNXTPROP
|
|
Takes the name of a property.
|
|
Returns the name of the next property of the node.
|
|
As with the
|
|
.Dv OPROMGETPROP
|
|
call,
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv OPROMNXTPROP
|
|
call refers to the node previously returned by either the
|
|
.Dv OPROMNEXT
|
|
or the
|
|
.Dv OPROMCHILD
|
|
call.
|
|
If the property referenced by the given name is the last property of the node,
|
|
an empty string is returned.

The following may result in rejection of an operation:

|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
The
|
|
.Pa /dev/openprom
|
|
node is already opened.
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The given node number is not 0 and does not correspond to any valid node,
|
|
or the given node number is 0 where 0 is not allowed,
|
|
or the given size value is invalid,
|
|
or the given property name exceeds the maximum allowed length of
|
|
.Dv OPROMMAXPARAM
|
|
bytes.
|
|
.It Bq Er ENOMEM
|
|
The kernel could not allocate memory to copy in data from user-space or to
|
|
retrieve data from the
|
|
.Tn Open Firmware .

|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The first
|
|
.Fx
|
|
version to include the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface was
|
|
.Fx 5.0 .
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface was written by
|
|
.An Jake Burkholder Aq Mt jake@FreeBSD.org .
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
Due to limitations within
|
|
.Tn Open Firmware
|
|
itself,
|
|
these functions run at elevated priority and may adversely affect system
|
|
performance.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
interface exists entirely for compatibility with software like X11,
|
|
and only the features that are actually needed for that are implemented.
|
|
The interface sucks too much to actually use,
|
|
new code should use the
|
|
.Xr openfirm 4
|
|
interface instead.
