smiGetIdentity(3)


NAME

   smiGetIdentity,         smiGetFirstIdentity,        smiGetNextIdentity,
   smiGetParentIdentity, smiGetIdentityModule - SMI  identity  information
   routines

SYNOPSIS

   #include <smi.h>

   SmiIdentity *smiGetIdentity(SmiModule *smiModulePtr, char *name);

   SmiIdentity *smiGetFirstIdentity(SmiModule *smiModulePtr);

   SmiIdentity *smiGetNextIdentity(SmiIdentity *smiIdentityPtr);

   SmiIdentity *smiGetParentIdentity(SmiIdentity *smiIdentityPtr);

   SmiModule *smiGetIdentityModule(SmiType *smiIdentityPtr);

   typedef struct SmiIdentity {
       SmiIdentifier       name;
       SmiDecl             decl;
       SmiStatus           status;
       char                *description;
       char                *reference;
   } SmiIdentity;

DESCRIPTION

   These  functions  retrieve  information  on a SMIng identity definition
   (SMIng).

   smiGetIdentity(SmiModule *smiModulePtr,char *name) returns a pointer to
   struct  SmiIdentity  for  the identity with the given name in the given
   module(smiModulePtr), or NULL if the idenity with the given  name  does
   not exist

   smiGetFirstIdentity(SmiModule             *smiModulePtr)            and
   smiGetNextIdentity(SmiIdentity *smiIdentityPtr)  are  used  to  iterate
   through the identities of the module given by smiModulePtr. They return
   a pointer to struct SmiIdentity hat represents an identity or  NULL  if
   there are no identities left in the module, or error has occurred.

   smiGetIdentityModule(SmiIdentity  *smiIdentityPtr) returns a pointer to
   struct SmiModule, of the module containing the given identity.

   smiGetParentIdentity(SmiIdentity *smiIdentityPtr) returns a pointer  to
   struct  SmiIdentity pointing to the parent of the given smiIdentityPtr,
   or NULL if the Identity is not derived.
