DESCRIPTION
sd_device_get_syspath() returns the sysfs path of the specified device
record, including the /sys prefix. Example:
/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_devpath() returns the sysfs path of the specified device
record, excluding the /sys prefix. Example: /devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_sysname() returns the sysfs name of the specified device
record, i.e. the last component of the sysfs path. Example: "tty7" for
the device /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_sysnum() returns the sysfs device number of the specified
device record, i.e. the numeric suffix of the last component of the
sysfs path. Example: "7" for the device /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_subsystem() returns the kernel subsystem of the specified
device record. This is a short string fitting into a filename, and thus
does not contain a slash and cannot be empty. Example: "tty", "block"
or "net".
sd_device_get_devtype() returns the device type of the specified device
record, if the subsystem manages multiple types of devices. Example:
for devices of the "block" subsystem this can be "disk" or "partition"
sd_device_get_devname() returns the device node path of the specified
device record if the device has a device node. Example: for
/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7 the string /dev/tty7 is typically
returned.
sd_device_get_devnum() returns the device node major/minor (i.e.
dev_t) of the specified device record if the device has a device node
(i.e. the one returned by sd_device_get_devname()). For devices
belonging to the "block" subsystem this refers to a block device node,
in all other cases to a character device node. Example: for the
/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7 device this typically returns the device
number with major/minor "4:7".
sd_device_get_ifindex() returns the network interface index of the
specified device record, if the device encapsulates a network interface
device, i.e. belongs to the "net" subsystem. Example: the "lo"
interface typically has interface index 1.
sd_device_get_driver() returns the kernel driver name attached to the
device. Note that the driver field is set on the devices consumed by
the driver, not on the device created by it. Example: a PCI device
/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.6 might be attached to a driver
"e1000e".
sd_device_get_diskseq() returns the kernel disk sequence number of the
block device. This number monotonically increases whenever a backing
medium of a block device changes without the device name changing, and
is relevant for block devices encapsulating devices with changing media
(e.g. floppy or CD-ROM), or loopback block devices. Only defined for
block devices, i.e. those of subsystem "block".
RETURN VALUE
On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On failure,
they return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
A specified parameter is invalid.
-ENOENT
The requested field is not present in the device record.
NOTES
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which can
be compiled against and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1)
file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be not
multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the functions
described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel thread. It is
recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an early phase of the
program when no other threads have been started.
