ZCOM C I/F Library Routines

GETDEVICE (3X)

	GETDEVICE (3X)
NAME	getdevice – Read ZCOM device definitions
SYNOPSIS

#include <zcom/zcomsys.h>

#include <zcom/zcomcall.h> /* if compiled with ANSI C (recommended) */ int getdevice (dfile, dpp)

char*dfile;

zdev_type **dpp;

DESCRIPTION Routine getdevice reads the ZCOM device file specified by the dfile parameter and loads the device definition entries into a memory table. The pointer to the device definition table is returned (see zdev type definition below).

If dfile is NULL, it uses the default /opt/acc/cfg/zcomdevice. The ZCOM device file is a binary file created by the ZDGEN program, from a user-customizable ASCII file (usually /opt/acc/cfg/zcomdevice.txt). Refer to the section on zdgen in the Multiprotocol ACC Utilities Reference Guide for more details.

The libraries libzcom_c.a and libpthread.a must be linked into the calling program by giving the options “-lzcom_c -lpthread” to cc(1) or ld(1).
