SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/param.h>
       #include <sys/bus.h>

       int
       resource_int_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, int *result);

       int
       resource_long_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, long *result);

       int
       resource_string_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, const char **result);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions fetch a value from the “hints” mechanism.

       The functions take the following arguments:

       name     The name of the device to get the resource value from.

       unit     The unit number of the device.  -1 is special and is used for wildcard entries.

       resname  The resource name.

       result   A pointer to memory in which to store the resource value.

RETURN VALUES

       If successful, the functions return 0.  Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned.

ERRORS

       The functions will fail if:

       [ENOENT]           The resource could not be found.

       [EFTYPE]           Inappropriate resource type.
