CSX_MAKEDEVICENODE(9F)					CSX_MAKEDEVICENODE(9F)

NAME
       csx_MakeDeviceNode,  csx_RemoveDeviceNode  -  create  and  remove minor
       nodes on behalf of the client

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/pccard.h>

       int32_t csx_MakeDeviceNode(client_handle_t ch, make_device_node_t *dn);

       int32_t csx_RemoveDeviceNode(client_handle_t ch, remove_device_node_t *dn);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI Specific (Solaris DDI)

PARAMETERS
       ch
	      Client handle returned from csx_RegisterClient(9F).

       dn
	      Pointer to a make_device_node_t or  remove_device_node_t	struc‐
	      ture.

DESCRIPTION
       csx_MakeDeviceNode()  and  csx_RemoveDeviceNode()  are Solaris-specific
       extensions to allow the client to request  that	device	nodes  in  the
       filesystem are created or removed, respectively, on its behalf.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS
       The structure members of make_device_node_t are:

	 uint32_t	 Action;	 /* device operation */
	 uint32_t	 NumDevNodes;	 /* number of nodes to create */
	 devnode_desc_t	 *devnode_desc;	 /* description of device nodes */

       The structure members of remove_device_node_t are:

	 uint32_t	Action;		 /* device operation */
	 uint32_t	NumDevNodes;	 /* number of nodes to remove */
	 devnode_desc_t *devnode_desc;	 /* description of device nodes */

       The structure members of devnode_desc_t are:

	 char		*name;		 /* device node path and name */
	 int32_t	spec_type;	 /* device special type (block or char) */
	 int32_t	minor_num;	 /* device node minor number */
	 char		*node_type;	 /* device node type */

       The Action field is used to specify the operation that csx_MakeDeviceN‐
       ode() and csx_RemoveDeviceNode() should perform.

       The following Action values are defined for csx_MakeDeviceNode():

       CREATE_DEVICE_NODE
			     Create NumDevNodes minor nodes

       The following Action values are defined for csx_RemoveDeviceNode():

       REMOVE_DEVICE_NODE
				  Remove NumDevNodes minor nodes

       REMOVE_ALL_DEVICE_NODES
				  Remove all minor nodes for this client

       For csx_MakeDeviceNode(), if the Action field is:

       CREATE_DEVICE_NODE
			      The NumDevNodes field must be set to the	number
			      of  minor devices to create, and the client must
			      allocate the quantity of	devnode_desc_t	struc‐
			      tures  specified by NumDevNodes and fill out the
			      fields in the devnode_desc_t structure with  the
			      appropriate minor node information. The meanings
			      of the fields in	the  devnode_desc_t  structure
			      are identical to the parameters of the same name
			      to the ddi_create_minor_node(9F) DDI function.

       For csx_RemoveDeviceNode(), if the Action field is:

       REMOVE_DEVICE_NODE
				   The NumDevNodes field must be  set  to  the
				   number  of minor devices to remove, and the
				   client must allocate the quantity of	 devn‐
				   ode_desc_t structures specified by NumDevN‐
				   odes and fill out the fields in  the	 devn‐
				   ode_desc_t  structure  with the appropriate
				   minor node information. The meanings of the
				   fields  in the devnode_desc_t structure are
				   identical to the  parameters	 of  the  same
				   name	 to  the ddi_remove_minor_node(9F) DDI
				   function.

       REMOVE_ALL_DEVICE_NODES
				   The NumDevNodes field must be set to 0  and
				   the	devnode_desc_t	structure pointer must
				   be set to NULL. All device nodes  for  this
				   client will be removed from the filesystem.

RETURN VALUES
       CS_SUCCESS
				   Successful operation.

       CS_BAD_HANDLE
				   Client handle is invalid.

       CS_BAD_ATTRIBUTE
				   The	value  of  one	or  more  arguments is
				   invalid.

       CS_BAD_ARGS
				   Action is invalid.

       CS_OUT_OF_RESOURCE
				   Unable to create or remove device node.

       CS_UNSUPPORTED_FUNCTION
				   No PCMCIA hardware installed.

CONTEXT
       These functions may be called from user or kernel context.
