Resource Type Properties to Support Monitors

Some resource type properties, like RT_basedir and Installed_nodes, might be of use to a monitor, for example, to specify the location of the program that implements the monitor.

Resource type properties inherited by a particular resource of that type are accessible through the scha_resource_get function. An interface is also provided to access the properties of any resource type. All resource type properties are accessible.

The access interface for resource types follows the pattern of the access interface for resources and resource groups. Open and close functions provide initialization and memory management, and a variable argument function provides tag-determined access to properties.A single man page describes these three functions. You can access this man page through any of the individual functions, scha_resourcetype_open(3HA), scha_resourcetype_get(3HA), or scha_resourcetype_close(3HA). The sciptable version of this functionality is implemented with a single command, scha_resourcetype_get(1HA.
