.TH RSM_GET_CONTROLLER 3RSM "Jun 8, 2001"
.SH NAME
rsm_get_controller, rsm_get_controller_attr, rsm_release_controller \- get or
release a controller handle
.SH SYNOPSIS

#include <rsmapi.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The controller functions provide mechanisms for obtaining access to a
controller, determining the characteristics of the controller, and releasing
the controller.
.sp
.LP
The  \fBrsm_get_controller()\fR function acquires a controller handle through
the \fIcontroller\fR argument.  The \fIname\fR argument is the specific
controller instance (for example, "sci0" or "loopback"). This controller handle
is used for subsequent RSMAPI calls.
.sp
.LP
The \fBrsm_get_controller_attr()\fR function obtains a controller's attributes
through the \fIattr\fR argument. The \fIchdl\fR argument is the controller
handle obtained by the   \fBrsm_get_controller()\fR call. The attribute
structure is defined in the <\fBrsmapi\fR> header.
.sp
.LP
The  \fBrsm_release_controller()\fR function releases the resources associated
with the controller identified by the controller handle \fIchdl\fR, obtained by
calling  \fBrsm_get_controller()\fR. Each \fBrsm_release_controller()\fR call
must have a corresponding \fBrsm_get_controller()\fR call. It is illegal to
access a controller or segments exported or imported using a released
controller.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
Upon successful completion, these functions return 0. Otherwise, an error value
is returned to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
