+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+library provides access to the kernel's internal device hierarchy
+and to the I/O resource manager.
+The library uses a
+.Xr sysctl 3
+interface to obtain a snapshot of the kernel's state,
+which is then made available to the application.
+.Pp
+Due to the fact that the information may be logically arranged
+in a number of different fashions,
+the library does not attempt to impose any structure on the data.
+.Pp
+Device, resource, and resource manager information is returned in
+data structures defined in
+.In devinfo.h :
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct devinfo_dev {
+ devinfo_handle_t dd_handle; /* device handle */
+ devinfo_handle_t dd_parent; /* parent handle */
+ char *dd_name; /* name of device */
+ char *dd_desc; /* device description */
+ char *dd_drivername; /* name of attached driver */
+ char *dd_pnpinfo; /* pnp info from parent bus */
+ char *dd_location; /* Where bus thinks dev at */
+ uint32_t dd_devflags; /* API flags */
+ uint16_t dd_flags; /* internal dev flags */
+ device_state_t dd_state; /* attachment state of dev */
+};
+
+struct devinfo_rman {
+ devinfo_handle_t dm_handle; /* resource manager handle */
+ u_long dm_start; /* resource start */
+ u_long dm_size; /* resource size */
+ char *dm_desc; /* resource description */
+};
+
+struct devinfo_res {
+ devinfo_handle_t dr_handle; /* resource handle */
+ devinfo_handle_t dr_rman; /* resource manager handle */
+ devinfo_handle_t dr_device; /* owning device */
+ u_long dr_start; /* region start */
+ u_long dr_size; /* region size */
+};
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt devinfo_handle_t
+values can be used to look up the correspondingly referenced structures.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_init
+takes a snapshot of the kernel's internal device and resource state.
+It returns nonzero
+if after a number of retries a consistent snapshot cannot be obtained.
+.Fn devinfo_init
+must be called before any other functions can be used.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_free
+releases the memory associated with the snapshot.
+Any pointers returned by other functions are invalidated by this,
+and
+.Fn devinfo_init
+must be called again before using any other functions.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_handle_to_device ,
+.Fn devinfo_handle_to_resource
+and
+.Fn devinfo_handle_to_rman
+return pointers to
+.Vt devinfo_dev ,
+.Vt devinfo_res
+and
+.Vt devinfo_rman
+structures respectively based on the
+.Vt devinfo_handle_t
+passed to them.
+These functions can be used to traverse the tree from any node to any
+other node.
+If
+.Fn devinfo_handle_to_device
+is passed the constant
+.Dv DEVINFO_ROOT_DEVICE
+it will return the handle to the root of the device tree.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_device_child
+invokes its callback argument
+.Fa fn
+on every device which is an immediate child of
+.Fa device .
+The
+.Fa fn
+function is also passed
+.Fa arg ,
+allowing state to be passed to the callback function.
+If
+.Fa fn
+returns a nonzero error value the traversal is halted,
+and
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_device_child
+returns the error value to its caller.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_device_resource
+invokes its callback argument
+.Fa fn
+on every resource which is owned by
+.Fa device .
+The
+.Fa fn
+function is also passed
+.Fa device
+and
+.Fa arg ,
+allowing state to be passed to the callback function.
+If
+.Fa fn
+returns a nonzero error value the traversal is halted,
+and
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_device_resource
+returns the error value to its caller.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_rman_resource
+invokes its callback argument
+.Fa fn
+on every resource within the resource manager
+.Fa rman .
+The
+.Fa fn
+function is also passed
+.Fa arg ,
+allowing state to be passed to the callback function.
+If
+.Fa fn
+returns a nonzero error value the traversal is halted,
+and
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_rman_resource
+returns the error value to its caller.
+.Pp
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_rman
+invokes its callback argument
+.Fa fn
+on every resource manager.
+The
+.Fa fn
+function is also passed
+.Fa arg ,
+allowing state to be passed to the callback function.
+If
+.Fa fn
+returns a nonzero error value the traversal is halted,
+and
+.Fn devinfo_foreach_rman

+.Sh BUGS
+This is the first implementation of the library,
+and the interface is still subject to refinement.
+.Pp
+The interface does not report device classes or drivers,
+making it hard to sort by class or driver.
