DESCRIPTION
The scf_iter_create() function creates a new iterator associated with
handle. The scf_iter_destroy() function destroys an iteration.
The scf_iter_reset() function releases any resources involved with an
active iteration and returns the iterator to its initial state.
The scf_iter_handle_scopes(), scf_iter_scope_services(), scf_iter_ser‐
vice_instances(), scf_iter_instance_snapshots(), scf_iter_ser‐
vice_pgs(), scf_iter_instance_pgs(), scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs(),
scf_iter_pg_properties(), and scf_iter_property_values() functions set
up a new iteration of all the children of parent of a particular type.
The scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(), and
scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() functions iterate over the child prop‐
erty groups of parent, but restrict them to a particular property group
type.
The scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed() function sets up a new iteration
of the composed view of instance's children at the time snapshot was
taken. If snapshot is NULL, the current properties are used. The com‐
posed view of an instance's properties is the union of the properties
of the instance and its ancestors. Properties of the instance take
precedence over properties of the service with the same name, including
property group name. Property groups retrieved with this iterator might
not have instance as their parent and properties retrieved from such
property groups might not have the indicated property group as their
parent. If instance and its parent have property groups with the same
name but different types, the properties in the property group of the
parent are excluded. The scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed() func‐
tion behaves as scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed(), except the property
groups of the type pgtype are returned.
The scf_iter_next_scope(), scf_iter_next_service(),
scf_iter_next_instance(), scf_iter_next_snapshot(), scf_iter_next_pg(),
scf_iter_next_property(), and scf_iter_next_value() functions retrieve
the next element of the iteration.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, scf_iter_create() returns a pointer to a
new iterator. Otherwise, it returns NULL.
Upon successful completion, scf_iter_handle() returns the handle asso‐
ciated with iter. Otherwise it returns NULL.
Upon successful completion, scf_iter_handle_scopes(),
scf_iter_scope_services(), scf_iter_service_instances(),
scf_iter_instance_snapshots(), scf_iter_service_pgs(),
scf_iter_instance_pgs(), scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_proper‐
ties(), scf_iter_property_values(), scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(),
scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(),
scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed(), and
scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() return 0. Otherwise, they return -1.
Upon successful completion, scf_iter_next_scope(), scf_iter_next_ser‐
vice(), scf_iter_next_instance(), scf_iter_next_snapshot(),
scf_iter_next_pg(), scf_iter_next_property(), and scf_iter_next_value()
return 1. If the iterator is complete, they return 0. Otherwise, they
return -1.
ERRORS
The scf_iter_create() function will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The handle argument is NULL.
SCF_ERROR_NO_MEMORY
There is no memory available.
SCF_ERROR_NO_RESOURCES
The server does not have adequate resources for a new iteration.
The scf_iter_handle() function will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_HANDLE_DESTROYED
The handle associated with iter has been destroyed.
The scf_iter_handle_scopes(), scf_iter_scope_services(), scf_iter_ser‐
vice_instances(), scf_iter_instance_snapshots(), scf_iter_ser‐
vice_pgs(), scf_iter_instance_pgs(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed(),
scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_properties(), scf_iter_prop‐
erty_values(), scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(),
scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed(),
and scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_DELETED
The parent has been deleted.
SCF_ERROR_NOT_SET
The parent is not set.
SCF_ERROR_NOT_BOUND
The handle is not bound.
SCF_ERROR_CONNECTION_BROKEN
The connection to the repository was lost.
SCF_ERROR_HANDLE_MISMATCH
The iter and parent arguments are not derived from the same handle.
The scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(),
scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed(), and
scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The pgtype argument is not a valid property group type.
The scf_iter_next_service(), scf_iter_next_instance(),
scf_iter_next_snapshot(), scf_iter_next_pg(), scf_iter_next_property(),
and scf_iter_next_value() functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_DELETED
The parent the iterator is attached to has been deleted.
The scf_iter_next_scope(), scf_iter_next_service(),
scf_iter_next_instance(), scf_iter_next_snapshot(),
scf_iter_next_pg(),scf_iter_next_property(), and scf_iter_next_value()
functions will fail if:
SCF_ERROR_NOT_SET
The iterator is not set.
SCF_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT
The requested object type does not match the type the iterator is
walking.
SCF_ERROR_NOT_BOUND
The handle is not bound.
SCF_ERROR_HANDLE_MISMATCH
The iter and parent arguments are not derived from the same handle.
SCF_ERROR_CONNECTION_BROKEN
The connection to the repository was lost.
The scf_error(3SCF) function can be used to retrieve the error value.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Iterate over all instances under a service.
scf_iter_t *iter = scf_iter_create(handle);
if (iter == NULL || scf_iter_service_instances(iter, parent) == -1) {
/* failure */
}
while ((r = scf_iter_next_instance(iter, child)) > 0) {
/* process child */
}
if (r < 0) {
/* failure */
}
scf_iter_destroy(iter);
Example 2: Connect to the repository, walk all services and instances
and print their FMRIs.
scf_handle_t *handle = scf_handle_create(SCF_VERSION);
scf_scope_t *scope = scf_scope_create(handle);
scf_service_t *svc = scf_service_create(handle);
scf_instance_t *inst = scf_instance_create(handle);
scf_iter_t *svc_iter = scf_iter_create(handle);
scf_iter_t *inst_iter = scf_iter_create(handle);
size_t sz = scf_limit(SCF_LIMIT_MAX_FMRI_LENGTH) + 1;
char *fmri = malloc(sz + 1);
int r;
if (handle == NULL || scope == NULL || svc == NULL ||
inst == NULL || svc_iter == NULL || inst_iter == NULL ||
fmri == NULL) {
/* failure */
}
if (scf_handle_bind(handle) == -1 ||
scf_handle_get_scope(handle, SCF_SCOPE_LOCAL, scope) == -1 ||
scf_iter_scope_services(svc_iter, scope) == -1) {
/* failure */
}
while ((r = scf_iter_next_service(svc_iter, svc)) > 0) {
if (scf_service_to_fmri(svc, fmri, sz) < 0) {
/* failure */
}
puts(fmri);
if (scf_iter_service_instances(inst_iter, svc) < 0) {
/* failure */
}
while ((r = scf_iter_next_instance(inst_iter, inst)) > 0) {
if (scf_instance_to_fmri(inst, fmri, sz) < 0) {
/* failure */
}
puts(fmri);
}
