.Dt OPENDEV 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm opendev
.Nd short form device open routine
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <util.h>
.Ft int
.Fn opendev "char *path" "int oflags" "int dflags" "char **realpath"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn opendev
function opens a device using the
.Dq short form
name. This is typically
.Dq sd0
or
.Dq sd0c ,
for instance, which will be expanded to
.Pa /dev/rsd0c
on most architectures.
.Pp
Device name lookup is done by first checking
.Fa path
for a
.Dq /
and if one is found attempting to open that file.
Otherwise
.Fa /dev
is searched for a matching device.
.Pp
The
.Fa oflags
are the same as the
.Fa flags
passed to
.Xr open 2 .
.Pp
The
.Fa dflags
are specified by
.Tn OR Ns 'ing
the following values:
.Pp
.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact
OPENDEV_PART attempt to open the raw partition during expansion
OPENDEV_BLCK open the block device (default is character device)
.Ed
.Pp
If
.Fa realpath
is not
.Dv NULL ,
it is modified to point at the fully expanded device name.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn opendev
return value and errors are the same as the return value and errors of
.Xr open 2 .
.Sh WARNINGS
If
.Fa realpath
is not
.Dv NULL ,
on return it will point to internal
static storage space that will be overwritten by subsequent calls.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr open 2 ,
.Xr getrawpartition 3
.Sh HISTORY
The
.Fn opendev
function first appeared in
.Ox 1.2 .
