Description

The scf_iter_create() function creates a new iterator associated with handle.

The scf_iter_destroy() function destroys an iteration. The scf_error() function is not modified by this call.

The scf_iter_reset() function releases any resources involved with an active iteration, and returns the iterator to its initial state.

The scf_iter_handle_scopes(), scf_iter_scope_services(), scf_iter_service_instances(), scf_iter_instance_snapshots(), scf_iter_service_pgs(), scf_iter_instance_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_pgs(), scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_properties(), and scf_iter_property_values() functions each set up a new iteration.

The scf_iter_handle_scopes() function sets up an iterator of all scopes for a given handle.

The scf_iter_scope_services() function sets up an iterator of all services for a given scope.

The scf_iter_service_instances() function sets up an iterator of all instances for a given service.

The scf_iter_instance_snapshots() function sets up an iterator of all snapshots for a given instance.

The scf_iter_service_pgs() function sets up an iterator of all property groups for a given service.

The scf_iter_instance_pgs() function sets up an iterator of all property groups for a given instance.

The scf_iter_pg_pgs() function sets up an iterator of all property groups that directly parented by the given property group. Therefore, only those property groups at the next level are considered.

The scf_iter_pg_properties() function sets up an iterator of all properties for a given property group.

The scf_iter_property_values() function sets up an iterator of all values for a given property (in the order in which they are specified with scf_entry_add_value(3SCF)).

The scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed(), and scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() functions iterate over the child property groups of the parent, but restrict them to a particular property group type. The scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed() function will iterate over the property groups directly parented by the given property group. Therefore, only those property groups at the next level are considered.

The scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed() and scf_iter_pg_pgs_composed() functions set up a new iteration of the composed view of an instance or a property group's children at the time the snapshot is taken. If the snapshot is NULL, the current properties are used.

The composed view of properties is the union of properties of the instance and its ancestors within any given property group. Properties of the instance take precedence over properties of the service with the same name and ancestry. Properties and property groups retrieved with this iterator might not have the instance as their ancestor if they exist only in the service. If the instance and its parent have property groups with the same name but different types, the properties in the property group of the parent are excluded.

The scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed() and scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed_composed() functions behave as scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed() and scf_iter_pg_pgs_composed() respectively, except only the property groups of the type pgtype are returned. The scf_iter_pg_pgs_composed() and scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed_composed() functions will iterate over the property groups directly parented by the given property group. Therefore, only those property groups at the next level are considered.

The scf_iter_next_scope(), scf_iter_next_service(), scf_iter_next_instance(), scf_iter_next_snapshot(), scf_iter_next_pg(), scf_iter_next_property(), and scf_iter_next_value() functions retrieve the next element of the iteration.

Return Values

Upon successful completion, the scf_iter_create() function returns a pointer to a new iterator. Otherwise, it returns NULL.

Upon successful completion, the scf_iter_handle() function returns the handle associated with iter. Otherwise, it returns NULL.

Upon successful completion, the scf_iter_handle_scopes(), scf_iter_scope_services(), scf_iter_service_instances(), scf_iter_instance_snapshots(), scf_iter_service_pgs(), scf_iter_instance_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_pgs(), scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs(), scf_iter_pg_properties(), scf_iter_property_values(), scf_iter_service_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_composed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_instance_pgs_typed_composed(), scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed(), scf_iter_pg_pgs_composed(), scf_iter_pg_pgs_typed_composed(), and scf_iter_snaplevel_pgs_typed() functions return 0. Otherwise, they return -1.

Upon successful completion, the scf_iter_next_scope(), scf_iter_next_service(), scf_iter_next_instance(), scf_iter_next_snapshot(), scf_iter_next_pg(), scf_iter_next_property(), and scf_iter_next_value() functions return 1. If the iterator is complete, the functions return 0. Otherwise, they return -1.
