scf_scope_create, scf_scope_handle, scf_scope_destroy, scf_scope_get_name, scf_handle_get_scope - create and manipulate scope handles in the Service Configuration Facility

Scopes are the top level of the Service Configuration Facility's repository tree. The children of a scope are services (see scf_service_create(3SCF)) and can be walked using scf_iter_scope_services(3SCF).
There is a distinguished scope with the name SCF_SCOPE_LOCAL that is the root for all available services on the local machine. In the current implementation, there are no other scopes.
An scf_scope_t is an opaque handle that can be set to a single scope at any given time. The scf_scope_create() function allocates a new scf_scope_t bound to handle. The scf_scope_destroy() function destroys and frees sc.
The scf_scope_handle() function retrieves the handle to which sc is bound.
The scf_scope_get_name() function retrieves the name of the scope to which sc is set.
The scf_handle_get_scope() function sets out to the scope specified by name for the repository handle specified by handle. The scf_iter_handle_scopes(3SCF) and scf_iter_next_scope(3SCF) calls can be used to iterate through all available scopes.
Upon successful completion, scf_scope_create() returns a new scf_scope_t. Otherwise, it returns NULL.
Upon successful completion, scf_scope_handle() returns the handle to which sc is bound. Otherwise, it returns NULL.
Upon successful completion, scf_scope_get_name() returns the length of the string written, not including the terminating null byte. Otherwise, it returns -1.
Upon successful completion, scf_handle_get_scope() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1.
The scf_scope_create() function will fail if:
The value of the handle argument is NULL.
There is not enough memory to allocate an scf_scope_t.
The server does not have adequate resources for a new scope handle.
The scf_scope_handle() function will fail if:
The handle associated with sc has been destroyed.
The scf_scope_get_name() function will fail if:
The scope is not set.
The handle is not bound.
The connection to the repository was lost.
The scf_handle_get_scope() function will fail if:
No scope named name was found.
The name argument is not a valid scope name.
The handle is not bound.
The connection to the repository was lost.
The value of the out argument is not derived from handle.
The scf_error(3SCF) function can be used to retrieve the error value.
