__BITMAP_PARSE(9)	Basic Kernel Library Functions	     __BITMAP_PARSE(9)

NAME
       __bitmap_parse - convert an ASCII hex string into a bitmap.

SYNOPSIS
       int __bitmap_parse(const char * buf, unsigned int buflen, int is_user,
			  unsigned long * maskp, int nmaskbits);

ARGUMENTS
       buf
	   pointer to buffer containing string.

       buflen
	   buffer size in bytes. If string is smaller than this then it must
	   be terminated with a \0.

       is_user
	   location of buffer, 0 indicates kernel space

       maskp
	   pointer to bitmap array that will contain result.

       nmaskbits
	   size of bitmap, in bits.

DESCRIPTION
       Commas group hex digits into chunks. Each chunk defines exactly 32 bits
       of the resultant bitmask. No chunk may specify a value larger than 32
       bits (-EOVERFLOW), and if a chunk specifies a smaller value then
       leading 0-bits are prepended.  -EINVAL is returned for illegal
       characters and for grouping errors such as “1,,5”, “,44”, “,” and "".
       Leading and trailing whitespace accepted, but not embedded whitespace.
