These functions are likely to open one or more files and cache the file descriptors locally. The .Fn geom_stats_open function returns zero on success, and sets .Va errno if not. .Pp The .Fn geom_stats_resync function will check if more statistics collection points have been added in the kernel since .Fn geom_stats_open or the previous call to .Fn geom_stats_resync . .Pp The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_get function will acquire a snapshot of the raw data from the kernel, and while a reasonable effort is made to make this snapshot as atomic and consistent as possible, no guarantee is given that it will actually be so. The snapshot must be freed again using the .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_free function. The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_get function returns .Dv NULL on failure. .Pp The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_timestamp function provides access to the timestamp acquired in the snapshot. .Pp The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_reset and .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_next functions provide an iterator over the statistics slots in the snapshot. The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_reset function forces the internal pointer in the snapshot back to before the first item. The .Fn geom_stats_snapshot_next function returns the next item, and .Dv NULL if there are no more items in the snapshot. .Ss "Control Functions" The .Fn gctl_* functions are used to send requests to GEOM classes. In order for a GEOM class to actually be able to receive these requests, it must have defined a "ctlreq" method. .Pp A .Vt "struct gctl_req *" , obtained with .Fn gctl_get_handle , can hold any number of parameters, which must be added to it with .Fn gctl_ro_param (for read-only parameters) or .Fn gctl_rw_param (for read/write parameters). .Pp Both .Fn gctl_ro_param and .Fn gctl_rw_param take a string .Fa name , which is used to identify the parameter, and a .Fa value , which contains, in the read-only case, the data to be passed to the GEOM class, or, in the read/write case, a pointer to preallocated memory that the GEOM class should fill with the desired data. If .Fa len is negative, it is assumed that .Fa value is an .Tn ASCII string and the actual length is taken from the string length of .Fa value ; otherwise it must hold the size of .Fa value . .Pp A parameter with a .Fa name containing the string .Qq Li class is mandatory for each request, and the corresponding .Fa value must hold the name of the GEOM class where the request should be sent to. .Pp Also mandatory for each request is a parameter with a .Fa name called .Qq Li verb , and the corresponding .Fa value needs to hold the command string that the GEOM class should react upon. .Pp Once all desired parameters are filled in, the request must be sent to the GEOM subsystem with .Fn gctl_issue , which returns .Dv NULL on success, or a string containing the error message on failure. .Pp After the request is finished, the allocated memory should be released with .Fn gctl_free . .Pp The .Fn gctl_dump function can be used to format the contents of .Fa req to the open file handle pointed to by .Fa f , for debugging purposes. .Pp Error handling for the control functions is postponed until the call to .Fn gctl_issue , which returns .Dv NULL on success, or an error message corresponding to the first error which happened. .Ss "Utility Functions" The .Fn geom_getxml function is a wrapper around .Xr sysctl 3 that fetches the .Ar kern.geom.confxml OID, and returns it's value. The allocated memory should be released with -.Xr free 2 +.Xr free 3 after use. .Pp The .Fn geom_xml2tree function parses the XML representation of a GEOM topology passed as .Ar p , allocates the needed data structures to access this information and fills in the passed .Ar gmp data structure. Memory allocated during this transformation should be released using .Fn geom_deletetree after use. .Pp The .Fn geom_gettree function is a wrapper around the .Fn geom_getxml and .Fn geom_xml2tree functions. Memory allocated during this operation should be released using .Fn geom_deletetree after use. .Pp The .Fn geom_deletetree function releases memory allocated for storing the data-structures referenced by .Ar gmp . .Pp The .Fn g_* functions are used to communicate with GEOM providers. .Pp The .Fn g_open function opens the given provider and returns file descriptor number, which can be used with other functions. The .Fa dowrite argument indicates if operations that modify the provider (like .Fn g_flush or .Fn g_delete ) are going to be called. .Pp The .Fn g_close function closes the provider. .Pp The .Fn g_mediasize function returns size of the given provider. .Pp The .Fn g_sectorsize function returns sector size of the given provider. .Pp The .Fn g_stripeoffset function returns stripe offset of the given provider. .Pp The .Fn g_stripesize function returns stripe size of the given provider. .Pp The .Fn g_flush function sends .Dv BIO_FLUSH request to flush write cache of the provider. .Pp The .Fn g_delete function tells the provider that the given data range is no longer used. .Pp The .Fn g_device_path function returns the full path to a provider given a partial or full path to the device node. .Dv NULL is returned if the device cannot be found or is not a valid geom provider. .Pp The .Fn g_get_ident function returns provider's fixed and unique identifier. The .Fa ident argument should be at least .Dv DISK_IDENT_SIZE big. .Pp The .Fn g_get_name function returns name of the provider, which identifier is equal to the .Fa ident string. .Pp The .Fn g_open_by_ident function opens provider using its identification, unlike .Fn g_open which uses the provider's name. The function will store the provider's name in the .Fa name parameter if it is not .Dv NULL . .Pp The .Fn g_providername function returns the provider name of an open file descriptor. .Dv NULL is returned the file descriptor does not point to a valid geom provider. .Pp All functions except .Fn g_providername and .Fn g_device_path return a value greater than or equal to .Va 0 on success or .Va -1 on failure. .Sh EXAMPLES Create a request that is to be sent to the CCD class, and tell it to destroy a specific geom: .Bd -literal -offset indent H = gctl_get_handle(); gctl_ro_param(H, "verb", -1, "destroy geom"); gctl_ro_param(H, "class", -1, "CCD"); sprintf(buf, "ccd%d", ccd); gctl_ro_param(H, "geom", -1, buf); errstr = gctl_issue(H); if (errstr != NULL) err(1, "could not destroy ccd: %s", errstr); gctl_free(H); .Ed .Sh HISTORY The .Nm geom library appeared in .Fx 5.1 . .Sh AUTHORS .An Poul-Henning Kamp Aq Mt phk@FreeBSD.org .An Lukas Ertl Aq Mt le@FreeBSD.org .An Pawel Jakub Dawidek Aq Mt pjd@FreeBSD.org
