sd_device_get_syspath() returns the sysfs path of the specified
device record, including the /sys prefix. Example:
/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_devpath() returns the sysfs path of the specified
device record, excluding the /sys prefix. Example:
/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_sysname() returns the sysfs name of the specified
device record, i.e. the last component of the sysfs path.
Example: "tty7" for the device /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_sysnum() returns the sysfs device number of the
specified device record, i.e. the numeric suffix of the last
component of the sysfs path. Example: "7" for the device
/sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7
sd_device_get_subsystem() returns the kernel subsystem of the
specified device record. This is a short string fitting into a
filename, and thus does not contain a slash and cannot be empty.
Example: "tty", "block" or "net".
sd_device_get_devtype() returns the device type of the specified
device record, if the subsystem manages multiple types of
devices. Example: for devices of the "block" subsystem this can
be "disk" or "partition"
sd_device_get_devname() returns the device node path of the
specified device record if the device has a device node. Example:
for /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7 the string /dev/tty7 is
typically returned.
sd_device_get_devnum() returns the device node major/minor (i.e.
dev_t) of the specified device record if the device has a device
node (i.e. the one returned by sd_device_get_devname()). For
devices belonging to the "block" subsystem this refers to a block
device node, in all other cases to a character device node.
Example: for the /sys/devices/virtual/tty/tty7 device this
typically returns the device number with major/minor "4:7".
sd_device_get_ifindex() returns the network interface index of
the specified device record, if the device encapsulates a network
interface device, i.e. belongs to the "net" subsystem. Example:
the "lo" interface typically has interface index 1.
sd_device_get_driver() returns the kernel driver name attached to
the device. Note that the driver field is set on the devices
consumed by the driver, not on the device created by it. Example:
a PCI device /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.6 might be attached
to a driver "e1000e".
sd_device_get_diskseq() returns the kernel disk sequence number
of the block device. This number monotonically increases whenever
a backing medium of a block device changes without the device
name changing, and is relevant for block devices encapsulating
devices with changing media (e.g. floppy or CD-ROM), or loopback
block devices. Only defined for block devices, i.e. those of
subsystem "block".
On success, these calls return 0 or a positive integer. On
failure, they return a negative errno-style error code.
Errors
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
-EINVAL
A specified parameter is invalid.
-ENOENT
The requested field is not present in the device record.
These APIs are implemented as a shared library, which can be
compiled and linked to with the libsystemd pkg-config(1) file.
