This library provides helpers to access sysfs features. Right now it only provides basic support for like igt_sysfs_open().

Functions

This writes len bytes from data to the sysfs file.

Parameters

dir

directory for the device from igt_sysfs_open()

 

attr

name of the sysfs node to open

 

data

the block to write from

 

len

the length to write

 

Returns

The number of bytes written, or -errno on error.


igt_sysfs_set ()

bool
igt_sysfs_set (int dir,
               const char *attr,
               const char *value);

This writes the value to the sysfs file.

Parameters

attr

name of the sysfs node to open

 

value

the string to write

 

Returns

True on success, false on failure.


igt_sysfs_get ()

char *
igt_sysfs_get (int dir,
               const char *attr);

This reads the value from the sysfs file.

Parameters

dir

directory for the device from igt_sysfs_open()

 

attr

name of the sysfs node to open

 

Returns

A nul-terminated string, must be freed by caller after use, or NULL on failure.

int
igt_sysfs_scanf (int dir,
                 const char *attr,
