16 Usage of the library functions:
17
18 The main datastructure for a switch is the struct switch_device
19 To get started, you first need to use switch_connect() to probe
20 for switches and allocate an instance of this struct.
21
22 There are two possible usage modes:
23 dev = switch_connect("eth0");
24 - this call will look for a switch registered for the linux device
25 "eth0" and only allocate a switch_device for this particular switch.
26
27 dev = switch_connect(NULL)
28 - this will return one switch_device struct for each available
29 switch. The switch_device structs are chained with by ->next pointer
30
31 Then to query a switch for all available attributes, use:
32 swlib_scan(dev);
33
34 All allocated datastructures for the switch_device struct can be freed with
35 swlib_free(dev);
36 or
37 swlib_free_all(dev);
38
39 The latter traverses a whole chain of switch_device structs and frees them all
40
41 Switch attributes (struct switch_attr) are divided into three groups:
42 dev->ops:
43 - global settings
44 dev->port_ops:
45 - per-port settings
46 dev->vlan_ops:
47 - per-vlan settings
48
49 switch_lookup_attr() is a small helper function to locate attributes
50 by name.
51
52 switch_set_attr() and switch_get_attr() can alter or request the values
53 of attributes.
54
55 Usage of the switch_attr struct:
56
57 ->atype: attribute group, one of:
58 - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_GLOBAL
59 - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_VLAN
60 - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_PORT
61
62 ->id: identifier for the attribute
63
64 ->type: data type, one of:
65 - SWITCH_TYPE_INT
66 - SWITCH_TYPE_STRING
67 - SWITCH_TYPE_PORT
68
69 ->name: short name of the attribute
70 ->description: longer description
71 ->next: pointer to the next attribute of the current group
72
73
74 Usage of the switch_val struct:
75
76 When setting attributes, following members of the struct switch_val need
77 to be set up:
78
79 ->len (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_PORT)
80 ->port_vlan:
81 - port number (for attr->atype == SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_PORT), or:
82 - vlan number (for attr->atype == SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_VLAN)
83 ->value.i (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_INT)
84 ->value.s (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_STRING)
85 - owned by the caller, not stored in the library internally
86 ->value.ports (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_PORT)
87 - must point to an array of at lest val->len * sizeof(struct switch_port)
88
89 When getting string attributes, val->value.s must be freed by the caller
90 When getting port list attributes, an internal static buffer is used,
91 which changes from call to call.
