DESCRIPTION
Device nodes can have associated properties. Properties consist of a
If the property is present, it signifies true, otherwise false.
A byte array is encoded as a sequence of bytes and represents values like
MAC addresses.
A text string is a sequence of n printable characters. It is encoded as
a byte array of length n + 1 bytes with characters represented as bytes
plus a terminating null character.
Unsigned 32-bit values, also sometimes called cells, are encoded as a
sequence of 4 bytes in big-endian order.
OF_getproplen() returns either the length of the value associated with
the property propname in the node identified by node, or 0 if the
property exists but has no associated value. If propname does not exist,
-1 is returned.
OF_getprop() copies a maximum of len bytes from the value associated with
the property propname of the device node node into the memory specified
by buf. Returns the actual size of the value or -1 if the property does
not exist.
OF_getencprop() copies a maximum of len bytes into memory specified by
buf, then converts cell values from big-endian to host byte order.
Returns the actual size of the value in bytes, or -1 if the property does
not exist. len must be a multiple of 4.
OF_hasprop() returns 1 if the device node node has a property specified
by propname, and zero if the property does not exist.
OF_searchprop() recursively looks for the property specified by propname
starting with the device node node followed by the parent node and up to
the root node. If the property is found, the function copies a maximum
of len bytes of the value associated with the property into the memory
specified by buf. Returns the actual size in bytes of the value, or -1
if the property does not exist.
OF_searchencprop() recursively looks for the property specified by
propname starting with the device node node followed by the parent node
and up to the root node. If the property is found, the function copies a
maximum of len bytes of the value associated with the property into the
memory specified by buf, then converts cell values from big-endian to
host byte order. Returns the actual size in bytes of the value, or -1 if
the property does not exist.
OF_getprop_alloc() allocates memory large enough to hold the value
associated with the property propname of the device node node and copies
the value into the newly allocated memory region. Returns the actual
size of the value and stores the address of the allocated memory in *buf.
If the property has a zero-sized value *buf is set NULL. Returns -1 if
the property does not exist or memory allocation failed. Allocated
memory should be released when no longer required by calling
OF_prop_free(). The function might sleep when allocating memory.
OF_getencprop_alloc() allocates enough memory to hold the value
associated with the property propname of the device node node, copies the
value into the newly allocated memory region, and then converts cell
values from big-endian to host byte order. The actual size of the value
is returned and the address of allocated memory is stored in *buf. If
associated with the property propname of the device node node and copies
the value into the newly allocated memory region. The value is expected
to be an array of zero or more elements elsz bytes long. Returns the
number of elements in the value and stores the address of the allocated
memory in *buf. If the property has a zero-sized value *buf is set NULL.
Returns -1 if the property does not exist or memory allocation failed or
the size of the value is not divisible by elsz. Allocated memory should
be released when no longer required by calling OF_prop_free(). The
function might sleep when allocating memory.
OF_getencprop_alloc_multi() allocates memory large enough to hold the
value associated with the property propname of the device node node and
copies the value into the newly allocated memory region, and then
converts cell values from big-endian to host byte order. The value is
expected to be an array of zero or more elements elsz bytes long.
Returns the number of elements in the value and stores the address of the
allocated memory in *buf. If the property has a zero-sized value *buf is
set NULL. Returns -1 if the property does not exist or memory allocation
failed or the size of the value is not divisible by elsz. Allocated
memory should be released when no longer required by calling
OF_prop_free(). The function might sleep when allocating memory.
OF_prop_free() releases memory at buf that was allocated by
OF_getprop_alloc(), OF_getencprop_alloc(), OF_getprop_alloc_multi(),
OF_getencprop_alloc_multi().
OF_nextprop() copies a maximum of size bytes of the name of the property
following the propname property into buf. If propname is NULL, the
function copies the name of the first property of the device node node.
OF_nextprop() returns -1 if propname is invalid or there is an internal
error, 0 if there are no more properties after propname, or 1 otherwise.
OF_setprop() sets the value of the property propname in the device node
node to the value beginning at the address specified by buf and running
for len bytes. If the property does not exist, the function tries to
create it. OF_setprop() returns the actual size of the new value, or -1
if the property value cannot be changed or the new property cannot be
created.
EXAMPLES
phandle_t node;
phandle_t hdmixref, hdminode;
device_t hdmi;
uint8_t mac[6];
char *model;
/*
* Get a byte array property
*/
if (OF_getprop(node, "eth,hwaddr", mac, sizeof(mac)) != sizeof(mac))
return;
/*
* Get internal node reference and device associated with it
*/
if (OF_getencprop(node, "hdmi", &hdmixref) <= 0)
return;
hdmi = OF_device_from_xref(hdmixref);
