  16 Usage of the library functions:
  17
  18   The main datastructure for a switch is the struct switch_device
  19   To get started, you first need to use switch_connect() to probe
  20   for switches and allocate an instance of this struct.
  21
  22   There are two possible usage modes:
  23     dev = switch_connect("eth0");
  24       - this call will look for a switch registered for the linux device
  25           "eth0" and only allocate a switch_device for this particular switch.
  26
  27     dev = switch_connect(NULL)
  28       - this will return one switch_device struct for each available
  29           switch. The switch_device structs are chained with by ->next pointer
  30
  31   Then to query a switch for all available attributes, use:
  32     swlib_scan(dev);
  33
  34   All allocated datastructures for the switch_device struct can be freed with
  35     swlib_free(dev);
  36   or
  37     swlib_free_all(dev);
  38
  39   The latter traverses a whole chain of switch_device structs and frees them all
  40
  41   Switch attributes (struct switch_attr) are divided into three groups:
  42     dev->ops:
  43       - global settings
  44     dev->port_ops:
  45       - per-port settings
  46     dev->vlan_ops:
  47       - per-vlan settings
  48
  49   switch_lookup_attr() is a small helper function to locate attributes
  50   by name.
  51
  52   switch_set_attr() and switch_get_attr() can alter or request the values
  53   of attributes.
  54
  55 Usage of the switch_attr struct:
  56
  57   ->atype: attribute group, one of:
  58     - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_GLOBAL
  59     - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_VLAN
  60     - SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_PORT
  61
  62   ->id: identifier for the attribute
  63
  64   ->type: data type, one of:
  65     - SWITCH_TYPE_INT
  66     - SWITCH_TYPE_STRING
  67     - SWITCH_TYPE_PORT
  68
  69   ->name: short name of the attribute
  70   ->description: longer description
  71   ->next: pointer to the next attribute of the current group
  72
  73
  74 Usage of the switch_val struct:
  75
  76   When setting attributes, following members of the struct switch_val need
  77   to be set up:
  78
  79     ->len (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_PORT)
  80     ->port_vlan:
  81       - port number (for attr->atype == SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_PORT), or:
  82       - vlan number (for attr->atype == SWLIB_ATTR_GROUP_VLAN)
  83     ->value.i (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_INT)
  84     ->value.s (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_STRING)
  85       - owned by the caller, not stored in the library internally
  86     ->value.ports (for attr->type == SWITCH_TYPE_PORT)
  87       - must point to an array of at lest val->len * sizeof(struct switch_port)
  88
  89   When getting string attributes, val->value.s must be freed by the caller
  90   When getting port list attributes, an internal static buffer is used,
  91   which changes from call to call.
