# 146400 19-May-2005 marius

Update the names of some member variables in comments to refect reality.
Apparently this was forgotten when this code was derived from the BSD
openprom(4).


# 139749 05-Jan-2005 imp

Start each of the license/copyright comments with /*-, minor shuffle of lines


# 129587 22-May-2004 marius

- Move OFW_NAME_MAX, used as a limit for OFW property names and device
identifiers, to openfirmio.h as OFIOCMAXNAME, so programs can use it
for buffer sizes etc.
Note: Although this is only a rough upper limit to make the code more
robust and to prevent the allocation of ridiculous amounts of memory,
the current limit of one page (8191 + '\0' in openfirm_getstr()) still
appears a bit high. The maximum length of OFW property names is 31.
I didn't find a maximum length for the device identifiers in the OFW
documentation but it certainly is much smaller than 8191, too.
- Enable the OFIOCSET ioctl, i.e. move it out from under #if 0.
- Don't use openfirm_getstr() for the property value in OFIOCSET, there
are also properties whose values aren't strings and it makes sense to
use a different maximum length for property values than OFW_NAME_MAX/
OFIOCMAXNAME. The maximum accepted property value is defined in
openfirmio.h as OFIOCMAXVALUE (currently the maximum size of the value
of the nvramrc property).
- Make OFIOCSET not return EINVAL when OF_setprop() returns a different
length for the written value than it was told to write, this is normal
for the text string values of the properties in the OFW /options node.
Instead, only return EINVAL if OF_setprop() returned -1 (value could
not be written or property could not be created). Add a comment about
the specialty of the OFW /options node.
- Make OFIOCSET return the length of the written value returned by
OF_setprop(), just like OF_getprop() does. Quite useful, at least for
debugging.

# 116210 11-Jun-2003 tmm

- Add an OFIOCGETPROPLEN ioctl() to get the length of a property.
- Do not use a fixed major.
- Minor cleanups.


# 105398 18-Oct-2002 tmm

Add a pseudo device which allows to access the OpenFirmware device tree
via ioctl()s. This was ported from NetBSD and adapted a bit to better
match our OpenFirmware support code.
