SD_HWDB_GET(3) sd_hwdb_get SD_HWDB_GET(3)
sd_hwdb_get, sd_hwdb_seek, sd_hwdb_enumerate,
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY - Seek to a location in hwdb or access
entries
#include <systemd/sd-hwdb.h>
int sd_hwdb_get(sd_hwdb *hwdb, const char *modalias,
const char *key, const char **value);
int sd_hwdb_seek(sd_hwdb *hwdb, const char *modalias);
int sd_hwdb_enumerate(sd_hwdb *hwdb, const char **key,
const char **value);
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY(hwdb, modalias, key, value);
sd_hwdb_get() queries the hwdb object created earlier with
sd_hwdb_new(3) for entries matching the specified string modalias,
and returns the value corresponding to the key key. The value is
returned as a NUL-terminated string in value. It must not be
modified by the caller and is valid as long as a reference to hwdb
is kept. When multiple patterns in the database match modalias,
the one with the highest priority is used. See hwdb(7) for
details.
sd_hwdb_seek() selects entries matching the specified string
modalias. Subsequent queries with sd_hwdb_enumerate() will access
the key-value pairs for that string.
sd_hwdb_enumerate() returns (in turn) all the key-value pairs
defined for the string used with sd_hwdb_seek(). Each pair is
returned as NUL-terminated strings in key and value. The strings
must not be modified by the caller and are valid as long as a
reference to hwdb is kept. When multiple patterns in the database
match modalias, the combination of all matching key-value pairs is
used. See hwdb(7) for details.
The SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY() macro combines sd_hwdb_seek() and
sd_hwdb_enumerate(). No error handling is performed and iteration
simply stops on error. See the example below.
On success, sd_hwdb_get() and sd_hwdb_seek() return a non-negative
integer. On failure, they return a negative errno-style error
code.
sd_hwdb_enumerate() returns a positive integer if another
key-value pair was found or zero if all entries have already been
enumerated. On failure, it returns a negative errno-style error
code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
A parameter is NULL.
Added in version 246.
-ENOENT
An entry for the specified modalias was not found.
Added in version 246.
-EAGAIN
sd_hwdb_seek() was not called before sd_hwdb_enumerate().
Added in version 246.
Functions described here are available as a shared library, which
can be compiled against and linked to with the
libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
The code described here uses getenv(3), which is declared to be
not multi-thread-safe. This means that the code calling the
functions described here must not call setenv(3) from a parallel
thread. It is recommended to only do calls to setenv() from an
early phase of the program when no other threads have been
started.
Example 1. Look up hwdb entries for a USB device
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0 */
#define _GNU_SOURCE 1
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <systemd/sd-hwdb.h>
int print_usb_properties(uint16_t vid, uint16_t pid) {
char match[128];
sd_hwdb *hwdb;
const char *key, *value;
int r;
/* Match this USB vendor and product ID combination */
snprintf(match, sizeof match, "usb:v%04Xp%04X", vid, pid);
r = sd_hwdb_new(&hwdb);
if (r < 0)
return r;
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY(hwdb, match, key, value)
printf("%s: \"%s\" → \"%s\"\n", match, key, value);
sd_hwdb_unref(hwdb);
return 0;
}
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
print_usb_properties(0x046D, 0xC534);
return 0;
}
The effect is similar to calling systemd-hwdb query
usb:v046DpC534.
sd_hwdb_get(), sd_hwdb_seek(), sd_hwdb_enumerate(), and
SD_HWDB_FOREACH_PROPERTY() were added in version 246.
