11@section Introduction
12
13The configuration space manager provides a portable
14interface for manipulating configuration data.
15The capabilities in this manager were defined in the POSIX
161003.1h/D3 proposed standard titled @b{Services for Reliable,
17Available, and Serviceable Systems}.
18
19The directives provided by the configuration space manager are:
20
21@itemize @bullet
22@item @code{cfg_mount} - Mount a Configuration Space
23@item @code{cfg_unmount} - Unmount a Configuration Space
24@item @code{cfg_mknod} - Create a Configuration Node
25@item @code{cfg_get} - Get Configuration Node Value
26@item @code{cfg_set} - Set Configuration Node Value
27@item @code{cfg_link} - Create a Configuration Link
28@item @code{cfg_unlink} - Remove a Configuration Link
29@item @code{cfg_open} - Open a Configuration Space
30@item @code{cfg_read} - Read a Configuration Space
31@item @code{cfg_children} - Get Node Entries
32@item @code{cfg_mark} - Set Configuration Space Option
33@item @code{cfg_close} - Close a Configuration Space
34@end itemize

98The @code{cfg_mount} function maps a configuration space defined
99by the file identified by the the @code{file} argument.  The

101mounted in the active space at the point identified bt the

104The @code{notification} argument specifies how changes to the
105mapped configuration space shall be communicated to the application.
106If the @code{notification} argument is NULL, no notification shall
107be performed for the mapped configuration space.  If the Event
108Logging option is defined, the notification argument defines the
109facility to which changes in the mapped configuration space shall
110be logged.  Otherwise, the @code{notification} argument shall
111specify an implementation defined method of notifying the application
112of changes to the mapped configuration space.

720@subheading DESCRIPTION:
721
722The @code{cfg_read} function returns a pointer to a CFGENT sturcture
723representing a node in the configuration space to which @code{cfgp}
724refers.  The returned pointer shall be stored at the location
725indicated by the @code{node} argument.
726
727The child nodes of each node in the configuration tree is returned
728by @code{cfg_read}.  If a comparison routine is specified to the
729@code{cfg_open} function, the order of return of the child nodes shall
730be as specified by the routine, from least to greatest.  Otherwise
731the order of return is unspecified.
732
733Structures referencing nodes with children shall be returned by the
734function @code{cfg_read} at least twice [unless the application
735specifies otherwise with @code{cfg_mark}]-once immediately before
736the structures representing their descendants, are returned
737(pre-order), and once immediately after structures representing all
738of their descendants, if any, are returned (post-order).  The
739CFGENT structure returned in post-porder (with the exception of the
740@code{cfg_info} field) shall be identical to that returned in pre-order.
741Structures referencing nodes of other types shall be returned at least
742once.
743
744The fields of the CFGENT structure shall contain the following
745informatation:
746
747@table @b
748
749@item cfg_parent
750A pointer to the structure returned by the
751@code{cfg_read} function for the node that contains
752the entry for the current node.  A @code{cfg_parent}
753structure shall be provided for the node(s) specified
754by the @code{pathnames} argument to the @code{cfg_open}
755function, but the contents of other than its
756@code{cfg_number}, @code{cfg_pointer}, @code{cfg_parent},
757and @code{cfg_parent}, and @code{cfg_level} fields are
758unspecified.  Its @code{cfg_link} field is unspecified.
759
760@item cfg_link
761Upon return from the @code{cfg_children} function, the
762@code{cfg_link} field points to the next CFGENT structure
763in a NULL-terminated linked list of CFGENT structures. 
764Otherwise, the content of the @code{cfg_link} field is
765unspecified.
766
767@item cfg_cycle
768If the structure being returned by @code{cfg_read}
769represents a node that appears in the @code{cfg_parent}
770linked list tree, the @code{cfg_cycle} field shall point
771to the structure representing that entry from the
772@code{cfg_parent} linked list.  Otherwise the content of
773the @code{cfg_cycle} field is unspecified.
774
775@item cfg_number
776The @code{cfg_number} field is provided for use by the
777application program.  It shall be initialized to zero for
778each new node returned by the @code{cfg_read} function,
779but shall not be further modified the configuration space
780routines.
781
782@item cfg_pointer
783The @code{cfg_pointer} field is provided for use by the
784application program.  It shall be initialized to NULL for
785each new node returned by the @code{cfg_read} function,
786but shall not be further modified by the configuration
787space routines.
788
789@item cfg_path
790A pathname for the node including and relative to the
791argument supplied to the @code{cfg_open} routine for this
792configuration space.  This pathname may be logner than
793@code{PATH_MAX} bytes.  This patname shall be NULL-terminated.
794
795@item cfg_name
796The nodename of the node.
797
798@item cfg_pathlen
799The length of the string pointed at by the @code{cfg_path}
800field when returned by @code{cfg_read}.
801
802@item cfg_namelen
803The length of the string pointed at by the @code{cfg_name}
804field.
805
806@item cfg_level
807The depth of the current entry in the configuration space.
808The @code{cfg_level} field of the @code{cfg_partent}
809structure for each of the node(s) specified in the
810@code{pathnames} argument to the @code{cfg_open} function
811shall be set to 0, and this number shall be incremented for
812for each node level descendant.
813
814@item cfg_info
815This field shall contain one of the values listed below.  If
816an object can have more than one info value, the first
817appropriate value listed below shall be returned.
818
819@table @b
820
821@item CFG_D
822The structure represents a node with children in
823pre-order.
824
825@item CFG_DC
826The structure represents a node that is a parent
827of the node most recently returned by @code{cfg_read}.
828The @code{cfg_cycle} field shall reference the
829structure previously returned by @code{cfg_read} that
830is the same as the returned structure.
831
832@item CFG_DEFAULT
833The structure represents a node that is not
834represented by one of the other node types
835
836@item CFG_DNR
837The structure represents a node, not of type symlink,
838that is unreadable.  The variable @code{cfg_errno}
839shall be set to the appropriate value.
840
841@item CFG_DP
842The structure represents a node with children in
843post-order.  This value shall occur only if CFG_D
844has previously been returned for this entry.
845
846@item CFG_ERR
847The structure represents a node for which an error has
848occurred.  The variable @code{cfg_errno} shall be set

856
857@item CFG_SLNONET
858The structure represents a node of type symbolic link
859with a target node for which node characteristic
860information cannot be obtained.

865
866Structures returned by @code{cfg_read} with a @code{cfg_info} field equal
867to CFG_D shall be accessible until a subsequent call, on the same
868configuration traversal stream, to @code{cfg_close}, or to @code{cfg_read}
869after they have been returned by the @code{cfg_read} function in
870post-order.  Structures returded by @code{cfg_read} with an
871@code{cfg_info} field not equal to CFG_D shall be accessible until a
872subsequent call, on the same configuration traversal stream, to
873@code{cfg_close} or @code{cfg_read}.
874
875The content of the @code{cfg_path} field is specified only for the
876structure most recently returned by @code{cfg_read}.
877
878The specified fields in structures in the list representing nodes for
879which structures have previously been returned by @code{cfg_children},
880shall be identical to those returned by @code{cfg_children}, except that
881the contents of the @code{cfg_path} and @code{cfg_pathlen} fields are
