.Pp
|
|
Except
|
|
.Vt libdm_dev_t
|
|
which is received from kernel as list of physical devices on which
|
|
the logical device depends.
|
|
.Vt libdm_target_t
|
|
which is received from kernel as list of available targets to use.
|
|
.Vt libdm_iter_t
|
|
which is used as iteration counter for array entries in the task structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Every object attribute in libdm can be set and gotten by appropriate routines,
|
|
therefore there always are set and get routines.
|
|
.Ss LIBDM TASK
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_create
|
|
function creates a libdm task dictionary with command string set to
|
|
.Fa command .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa command
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
libdm_task_t is not created and the function returns
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_destroy
|
|
free all memory allocated to
|
|
.Fa libdm_task
|
|
by
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_create .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_run
|
|
Sends created
|
|
.Fa libdm_task
|
|
to kernel and receives new one as reply.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
List of attributes avaialable in

.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_set_name
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_name
|
|
Set name of the device for commands which need to have a dm device
|
|
identifier.
|
|
The device-mapper later uses the device name to look up the device
|
|
from the list of all devices.
|
|
The get routine will fetch the device name from the task dictionary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_set_uuid
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_uuid
|
|
Set uuid of device for commands which need to have a dm device
|
|
identifier.
|
|
The device-mapper later uses the device uuid to look up the device
|
|
from the list of all devices.
|
|
The get routine will fetch the device uuid from the task dictionary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_set_minor
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_minor
|
|
Set minor device number of device for commands which need to have
|
|
a dm device identifier.
|
|
The device-mapper later uses the device minor number to look up
|
|
the device from the list of all devices.
|
|
The get routine will fetch the device minor number from the task
|
|
dictionary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_set_flags
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_flags
|
|
Set/fetch device status flags from the task dictionary.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_open_num
|
|
Fetch number of opened devices from the kernel and return them as count.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_target_num
|
|
Fetch number of opened devices from the kernel and return them as count.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_cmd_version
|
|
Get the version of the dm driver in the kernel as array
|
|
.Fa uint32_t *ver
|
|
of size
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_set_cmd
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_get_cmd
|
|
Add and fetch cmd structure from
|
|
.Vt libdm_task_t .
|
|
.Vt libdm_cmd_t
|
|
is the container used to carry information specific for the particular
|
|
command.
|
|
cmd is usually set before libdm_task_run is used and is taken from
|
|
the task structure after the task run was called.
|
|
.Ss LIBDM TASK CMD
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_create
|
|
function will allocate a cmd structure which can later be put in
|
|
to the task.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_destroy
|
|
will deallocate a previously allocated cmd structure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_set_table
|
|
Will load and fetch the device mapping table from the dm device.
|
|
The table is usually loaded to the device during initial device
|
|
creation or device resizing.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because libdm_cmd is an array of structures, all _get routines need an
|
|
iterator to work.
|
|
For every entry we can have more than one.
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_get_table
|
|
When the user creates a task with the "status" command, the kernel
|
|
sends cmd with a table in it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_get_target
|
|
Get mapping target description from cmd.
|
|
Target contains target_name and target_version.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_get_dev
|
|
When user creates a task with the "info" command, the kernel sends
|
|
cmd with information about dm device to user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_get_deps
|
|
When user creates a task with the "deps" command, the kernel sends
|
|
cmd with an array of physical devices attached to the dm device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Usually the device has more than one table entry in the device command.
|
|
Therefore cmd iterators are needed for
|
|
.Vt libdm_cmd_t ;
|
|
they can be created by the
|
|
.Fn libdm_cmd_iter_create
|
|
function.
|
|
.Ss LIBDM CMD TABLE
|
|
A device table describes the logical mapping between the dm device and
|
|
physical devices.
|
|
Every table has the logical block start, the table length (in disk
|
|
blocks), the target used by table, the physical device, and the
|
|
offset on it.
|
|
The physical device and the offset on it are parameters which are
|
|
target specific and are passed down to the target as param string.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Example device table entry

|
|
Set start table from
|
|
.Fa start
|
|
value to

|
|
Get routine will get the table start from kernel as
|
|
.Vt libdm_table .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_table_set_length
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn libdm_table_get_length
|
|
Set table length from
|
|
.Fa length

|
|
Set target name from
|
|
.Fa target
|
|
value to

The target must be actually present in the kernel, otherwise
|
|
.Fn libdm_task_run
|
|
will fail.

Get routine will get the table entry target from kernel as
|
|

.Fa params
|
|
argument to
|

This is later in the kernel passed to the target init routine.
|
|
Get routine will get the table parameter string from kernel as
|
|
.Vt libdm_table .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn libdm_table_get_status
|
|
