NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       cd_getdevmap  -  get  mappings of major/minor numbers of a
       file on a Rock Ridge format CD-ROM

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <sys/cdrom.h>

       int cd_getdevmap(
               char *path,
               int pathlen,
               int index,
               int *new_major,
               int *new_minor );

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

       CD-ROM library (libcdrom.so, libcdrom.a)

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       This function gets the major  and  minor  numbers  of  one
       device  file  on  a  mounted Rock Ridge format CD-ROM. The
       argument path points to a file or directory within the CDROM
  file hierarchy. The argument index refers to the number
 index mapped device file. Mappings can be obtained  by
       path or index.

       If  index is zero, this function gets the mapped major and
       minor numbers of the device file pointed to by  path.  The
       value  of  the  mapped  major  number shall be returned in
       new_major. The value of the mapped minor number  shall  be
       returned in new_minor. The value of pathlen is not used.

       If  index  is  not  zero, this function gets the major and
       minor numbers and pathname of the mapped device file specified
  by  index.  Numbering  for index starts at one. The
       value of the mapped major  number  shall  be  returned  in
       new_major.  The  value of the mapped minor number shall be
       returned in new_minor. The pathname  of  the  device  file
       shall  be  returned in path. If the length of the pathname
       for the device file is longer than pathlen,  the  pathname
       returned  in  path will be truncated to pathlen length and
       will not be NULL terminated.

RESTRICTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       The   maximum   number   of   mappings   is   defined   in
       <sys/cdrom.h>.  The device file mappings for a mounted CDROM
 are undone when the CD-ROM is unmounted.

       The index numbers from 1 to n (where n is  the  number  of
       the  last  device  file  mapping) are always guaranteed to
       have a device file mapping  associated  with  the  number.
       Thus,  if an application wishes to successively delete all
       device file mappings, one at a time, it would call cd_getdevmap()
  with  index  equal to 1, and then cd_setdevmap()
       with CD_UNSETDMAP in a loop until  cd_getdevmap()  returns
       zero.







RETURN VALUES    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  cd_getdevmap() function will return the length of the
       pathname if the device file is  successfully  returned;  a
       return value of zero means mapping not found. Note: If the
       pathname is truncated, the return  value  will  be  larger
       than pathlen.

       In case of error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate
 the error.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Search permission is denied for a component  of  the  path
       prefix or read permission on the device file pointed to by
       path is denied.  The length of  the  path  string  exceeds
       {PATH_MAX}   or   a  pathname  component  is  longer  than
       {NAME_MAX} while {_POSIX_NO_TRUNC} is in effect.  A component
 of path does not exist or the path argument points to
       an empty string.  A component of the path prefix is not  a
       directory.   The  address of path, new_major, or new_minor
       is invalid.  The value of index or pathlen is invalid. The
       argument  path  points to a file or directory not within a
       CD-ROM file hierarchy. The file pointed to by path is  not
       a  device  file.  The CD-ROM is not in the drive or a read
       error occurred.  A signal was caught during the  cd_getdevmap()
  function.   {OPEN_MAX}  file  descriptors are currently
 open in the calling process.

              [Tru64 UNIX]  Either the OPEN_MAX value or the perprocess
 soft descriptor limit is checked.  The system
 file table is full.
