+.Dd September 1, 2006 +.Dt OPENFIRM 4 sparc64 +.Os +.Sh NAME +.Nm openfirm +.Nd "Open Firmware interface" +.Sh SYNOPSIS +.In sys/types.h +.In sys/ioctl.h +.In dev/ofw/openfirmio.h +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Pa /dev/openfirm +device is an interface to the +.Tn Open Firmware +device tree. +This interface is similar to the +.Tn SunOS / +.Tn Solaris +compatible +.Xr openprom 4 +interface and highly stylized. +It uses +.Xr ioctl 2 +calls for all operations. +These calls refer to the nodes in the +.Tn Open Firmware +device tree. +The nodes are represented by package handles, +which are simply integer values describing data areas. +Occasionally a package handle of 0 may be used or returned instead, +as described below. +.Pp +The calls that only take and/or return the package handle of a node +use a pointer to a +.Vt phandle_t +for this purpose. +The others use a pointer to a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" +descriptor, +which has the following definition: +.Bd -literal +struct ofiocdesc { + phandle_t of_nodeid; + int of_namelen; + const char *of_name; + int of_buflen; + char *of_buf; +}; +.Ed +.Pp +The +.Va of_nodeid +member is the package handle of the node that is passed in or returned. +Strings are passed in via the +.Va of_name +member of +.Va of_namelen +length. +The maximum accepted length of +.Va of_name +is +.Dv OFIOCMAXNAME . +The +.Va of_buf +member is used to return strings except for the +.Dv OFIOCSET +call where it is also used to pass in a string. +In the latter case the maximum accepted length of +.Va of_buf +is +.Dv OFIOCMAXVALUE . +Generally, +.Va of_buf +works in a value-result fashion. +At entry to the +.Xr ioctl 2 +call, +.Va of_buflen +is expected to reflect the buffer size. +On return, +.Va of_buflen +is updated to reflect the buffer contents. +.Pp +The following +.Xr ioctl 2 +calls are supported: +.Bl -tag -width ".Dv OFIOCGETOPTNODE" +.It Dv OFIOCGETOPTNODE +Uses a +.Vt phandle_t . +Takes nothing and returns the package handle of the +.Pa /options +node. +.It Dv OFIOCGETNEXT +Uses a +.Vt phandle_t . +Takes the package handle of a node and returns the package handle of the next +node in the +.Tn Open Firmware +device tree. +The node following the last node has a package handle of 0. +The node following the node with the package handle of 0 is the first node. +.It Dv OFIOCGETCHILD +Uses a +.Vt phandle_t . +Takes the package handle of a node and returns the package handle of the first +child of that node. +This child may have siblings. +These can be determined by using +.Dv OFIOCGETNEXT . +If the node does not have a child, +a package handle of 0 is returned. +.It Dv OFIOCGET +Uses a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" . +Takes the package handle of a node and the name of a property. +Returns the property value and its length. +If no such property is associated with that node, +the length of the value is set to \-1. +If the named property exists but has no value, +the length of the value is set to 0. +.It Dv OFIOCGETPROPLEN +Uses a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" . +Takes the package handle of a node and the name of a property. +Returns the length of the property value. +This call is the same as +.Dv OFIOCGET +except that only the length of the property value is returned. +It can be used to determine whether a node has a particular property or whether +a property has a value without the need to provide memory for storing the value. +.It Dv OFIOCSET +Uses a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" . +Takes the package handle of a node, +the name of a property and a property value. +Returns the property value and the length that actually have been written. +The +.Tn Open Firmware +may choose to truncate the value if it is too long or write a valid value +instead if the given value is invalid for the particular property. +Therefore the returned value should be checked. +The +.Tn Open Firmware +may also completely refuse to write the given value to the property. +In this case +.Er EINVAL +is returned. +.It Dv OFIOCNEXTPROP +Uses a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" . +Takes the package handle of a node and the name of a property. +Returns the name and the length of the next property of the node. +If the property referenced by the given name is the last property of the node, +.Er ENOENT +is returned. +.It Dv OFIOCFINDDEVICE +Uses a +.Vt "struct ofiocdesc" . +Takes the name or alias name of a device node. +Returns package handle of the node. +If no matching node is found, +.Er ENOENT +is returned. +.El +.Sh FILES +.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /dev/openfirm" +.It Pa /dev/openfirm +Open Firmware interface node

. +.It Bq Er EINVAL +The given package handle is not 0 and does not correspond to any valid node, +or the given package handle is 0 where 0 is not allowed. +.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG +The given name or

+.Tn Open Firmware +itself, +these functions run at elevated priority and may adversely affect system +performance. +.Pp +For at least the +.Pa /options +node the property value passed in to the +.Dv

include the terminating +.Ql \e0 . |
