probe(D2oddi)
probe --
provide driver-specific information for DQI
Synopsis
prefixprobe (char *buf, int *bytesvalid, int *probesvalid, int bufsize);
Description
The
probe( )
entry point routine
provides the necessary device-specific information
for user-level applications such as
ScoAdmin and the SNMP Manager client
to determine which devices are currently configured on the system.
Arguments
buf-
bytesvalid-
probesvalid-
bufsize-
Return values
None
Usage
SCSI device drivers are not coded with an
probe( )
routine. Instead, they must register the information
with the SCSI configuration driver using the
Sdevregister(D3osdi)
routine for SCSI peripheral drivers or the
Sharegister(D3osdi)
routine for SCSI host adapater drivers.

Differences between versions
This routine is not used
in ODDI versions prior to version 3
because those releases did not support
the managers that use this functionality.
SVR5 DDI compatibility
DDI drivers do not use this entry point routine.
User-level applications can access the resource manager database
for information about configured drivers. See
``Resource manager database'' in HDK Technical Reference.
