DESCRIPTION

Almost all functions operate on a handle of type dsbmc_t. dsbmc_alloc_handle() creates and initializes a handle, and returns a pointer to it. If an error occured, NULL is returned.

dsbmc_connect() establishes a connection to DSBMD, and returns 0 on success, and -1 if an error occured. If this function fails, DSBMC_ERR_CONN_DENIED is set in the error bitmask, or errno is set to any value defined in connect(2) and socket(2).

The dsbmc_disconnect() function terminates the connection to DSBMD.

dsbmc_free_handle() frees the memory used by the handle.

The dsbmc_fetch_event() function fetches the next available event, updates internal data structures, and executes callback functions. If an event is available, dsbmc_fetch_event() returns a value > 0, else 0 is returned. If an error occured, dsbmc_fetch_event() returns -1. Possible errors are DSBMC_ERR_LOST_CONNECTION, DSBMC_ERR_SYS and/or DSBMC_ERR_FATAL. Instead of CPU intensive polling, dsbmc_fetch_event() can be used together with select() by passing the file descriptor retrieved by dsbmd_get_fd().

The dsbmc_get_devlist() fucntion sets the given pointer to the internal list of dsbmc_dev_t *‌ objects. The number of objects is returned.

The dsbmc_get_fd() function returns the file descriptor of the socket which is connected to DSBMD. Its ONLY purpose is to use it with select().

The dsbmc_mount() function mounts the device represented by the given object. The function blocks until a reply from DSBMD is received or an error occured. On success dsbmc_mount() returns 0. If mounting failed, an error code > 0 is returned, which can be one of DSBMC_ERR_ALREADY_MOUNTED, DSBMC_ERR_NO_MEDIA DSBMC_ERR_PERMISSION_DENIED, DSBMC_ERR_DEVICE_BUSY, DSBMC_ERR_NO_SUCH_DEVICE, DSBMC_ERR_UNKNOWN_FILESYSTEM, DSBMC_ERR_UNKNOWN_ERROR, DSBMC_ERR_MNTCMD_FAILED. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

The dsbmc_unmount() function unmounts the device represented by the given object. If 'force' is true, unmounting will be enforced even if the device is busy. The function blocks until a reply from DSBMD is received or an error occured. On success dsbmc_unmount() returns 0. If unmounting failed, an error code > 0 is returned, which can be DSBMC_ERR_NOT_MOUNTED, DSBMC_ERR_DEVICE_BUSY, or an errno number. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

The dsbmc_eject() function ejects the device represented by the given object. If 'force' is true, ejecting will be enforced even if the device is busy. The function blocks until a reply from DSBMD is received or an error occured. On success dsbmc_eject() returns 0. If ejecting failed, an error code > 0 is returned, which can be DSBMC_ERR_NOT_EJECTABLE, DSBMC_ERR_DEVICE_BUSY, or an errno number. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

The dsbmc_set_speed() function sets the reading speed of the optical device represented by the given object. The function blocks until a reply from DSBMD is received or an error occured. On success dsbmc_set_speed() returns 0. If it failed, an error code > 0 is returned, which can be ERR_INVALID_ARGUMENT, or an errno number. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

The dsbmc_size() function queries the storage capacity, the number of used and free bytes of the device represented by the given object.

The dsbmc_mdattach() function asks DSBMD to create a memory disk to access the given disk image. The function blocks until a reply from DSBMD is received or an error occured. On success dsbmc_mdattach() returns 0, else an error code > 0 is returned, which can be DSBMC_ERR_NOT_A_FILE, DSBMC_ERR_PERMISSION_DENIED, or an errno number. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

The _async() variant of dsbmc_mount(), dsbmc_unmount(), dsbmc_eject(), dsbmc_set_speed(), and dsbmc_mdattach() return 0, and the given callback function will be executed by dsbmd_fetch_event() as soon as a command-reply code is received. If an error occured, -1 is returned, and the error bitmask is set accordingly.

If the DSBMC_EVENT_DEL_DEVICE event was received, the device object should be removed from the list using dsbmc_free_dev() if it is no longer needed.

If one of the functions failed with an error, the function dsbmc_get_err() can be used to retrieve the error bitmask. If errstr is not NULL, it is set to the corresponding error message.

The function dsbmc_errstr() returns the last error message.

The dsbmc_errcode_to_str() function translates a DSBMD error-code into a string.

The dsbmc_dev_from_name() function returns a pointer to the device object matching the given device name, or NULL if there was no match.

The dsbmc_dev_from_id() function returns a pointer to the device object matching the given ID, or NULL if there was no match.

The dsbmc_next_dev() function returns the next device from the device list, starting from *idx, and increases the content of the given index pointer. If removed is false, removed devices are ignored. If the end of the list is reached, NULL is returned.

THREADS

libdsbmc can be used together with threads. However, access to a single handle from multiple threads must be synchronized, e.g. by using a mutex.
