.Dt g_geom 9
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm g_new_geomf ,
.Nm g_destroy_geom
.Nd "geom management"
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In geom/geom.h
.Ft "struct g_geom *"
.Fn g_new_geomf "struct g_class *mp" "const char *fmt" ...
.Ft void
.Fn g_destroy_geom "struct g_geom *gp"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The geom (do not confuse
.Dq geom
with
.Dq GEOM )
is an instance of a GEOM class.
For example: in a typical i386 FreeBSD system, there will be one geom
of class MBR for each disk.
The geom's name is not really important, it is only used in the XML
dump and for debugging purposes.
There can be many geoms with the same name.
.Pp
The
.Fn g_new_geomf
function creates a new geom, which will be an instance of the class
.Fa mp .
The geom name is created in a printf\-like way from the rest of the arguments.
.Pp
The
.Fn g_destroy_geom
function destroys the given geom imediately and cancels all related pending
events.
.Pp
Structure
.Vt g_geom
contains fields, that should be set by the caller after geom creation, but before
creating any providers or consumers related to this geom (not all are required):
.Bl -inset -offset indent
.It Vt "g_start_t *" Va start
Pointer to a function used for I/O processing.
.It Vt "g_spoiled_t *" Va spoiled
Pointer to a function used for consumers spoiling.
.It Vt "g_dumpconf_t *" Va dumpconf
Pointer to a function used for configuration in XML format dumping.
.It Vt "g_access_t *" Va access
Pointer to a function used for access control.
.It Vt "g_orphan_t *" Va orphan
Pointer to a function used to inform about orphaned consumer.
.It Vt "g_ioctl_t *" Va ioctl
Pointer to a function used for handling ioctl requests.
.It Vt "void *" Va softc
Field for private use.
.El
.Sh RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
If you intend to use providers in this geom you must set field
.Va start
of your geom.
.Pp
If you are planning to use consumers in your geom you must set fields
.Va orphan
and
.Va access
for it.
.Pp
.Fn g_new_geomf :
.Bl -item -offset indent
.It
Class
.Fa mp
must be valid (registered in GEOM).
.It
The topology lock has to be held.
.El
.Pp
.Fn g_destroy_geom :
.Bl -item -offset indent
.It
The geom can not posses any providers.
.It
The geom can not posses any consumers.
.It
The topology lock has to be held.
.El
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn g_new_geomf
returns a pointer to the newly created geom or
.Dv NULL
if an error occured.
.Sh EXAMPLES
Create an example geom.
.Bd -literal -offset indent
