DESCRIPTION         top

       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".

RETURN VALUE         top

       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.

           Added in version 251.

       -ENOENT
           The requested field is not present in the device record.

           Added in version 251.

NOTES         top

       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.
