Detailed Description

Generic nodes are an alternative to standard drivers in RTEMS.

The handlers of a generic node are called with less overhead compared to the standard driver operations. The usage of file system node handlers enable more features like support for fsync() and fdatasync(). The generic nodes use the reference counting of the IMFS. This provides automatic node destruction when the last reference vanishes.

Macro Definition Documentation

IMFS_GENERIC_INITIALIZER

#define IMFS_GENERIC_INITIALIZER	(		handlers,
			init,
			destroy
	)

Value:

{ \
    ( handlers ), \
    ( init ), \
    IMFS_node_remove_default, \
    ( destroy ) \
  }

Initializer for a generic node control.

Parameters

[in]	handlers	The file system node handlers.
[in]	init	The node initialization method.
[in]	destroy	The node destruction method.

Typedef Documentation

IMFS_node_control_destroy

typedef void(* IMFS_node_control_destroy) (IMFS_jnode_t *node)

Destroys an IMFS node.

Parameters

[in]

node

The IMFS node.

See also

IMFS_node_control and IMFS_node_destroy_default().

IMFS_node_control_initialize

typedef IMFS_jnode_t*(* IMFS_node_control_initialize) (IMFS_jnode_t *node, void *arg)

Initializes an IMFS node.

Parameters

[in]	node	The IMFS node.
[in]	arg	The user provided argument pointer. It may contain node specific initialization information.

Return values

node	Successful operation.
NULL	An error occurred. The errno indicates the error. This will abort the make operation.

IMFS_node_control_remove

typedef IMFS_jnode_t*(* IMFS_node_control_remove) (IMFS_jnode_t *node)

Prepares the removal of an IMFS node from its parent directory.

Parameters

[in]

node

The IMFS node.

Return values

node	Successful operation.
NULL	An error occurred. The errno indicates the error. This will abort the removal operation.

IMFS_node_control and IMFS_node_remove_default().

Function Documentation

IMFS_make_generic_node()

int IMFS_make_generic_node	(	const char *	path,
		mode_t	mode,
		const IMFS_node_control *	node_control,
		void *	context
	)

Makes a generic IMFS node.

Parameters

[in]	path	The path to the new generic IMFS node.
[in]	mode	The node mode.
[in]	node_control	The node control.
[in]	context	The node control handler context.

Return values

0	Successful operation.
-1	An error occurred. The errno indicates the error.
