[PATCH v2] c-user: Generate I/O Manager documentation

Sebastian Huber sebastian.huber at embedded-brains.de
Mon Oct 5 14:39:48 UTC 2020


The manager documentation is a consolidation of the comments in Doxygen
markup and the documentation sources in Sphinx markup.  The
documentation was transfered to interface specification items.  This
header file was generated from the items by a script.

Update #3993.
---
v2:

* Add comments to mention the specification items which produced a
  content block.

* Preserve original directive order.

* Re-order sections so that the description is between the calling
  sequence and the return values.

* Use .. rubric instead of nested definition lists to fix the vertical
  spacing.

* Add custom document index entries.

-       - major device number entry in use
-
-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive attempts to add a new device driver to the Device Driver
-    Table. The user can specify a specific major device number via the
-    directive's ``major`` parameter, or let the registration routine find the
-    next available major device number by specifing a major number of
-    ``0``. The selected major device number is returned via the
-    ``registered_major`` directive parameter. The directive automatically
-    allocation major device numbers from the highest value down.
-
-    This directive automatically invokes the ``IO_INITIALIZE`` directive if the
-    driver address table has an initialization and open entry.
-
-    The directive returns ``RTEMS_TOO_MANY`` if Device Driver Table is full,
-    and ``RTEMS_RESOURCE_IN_USE`` if a specific major device number is
-    requested and it is already in use.
-
-NOTES:
-    The Device Driver Table size is specified in the Configuration Table
-    condiguration. This needs to be set to maximum size the application
-    requires.
+rtems_io_register_driver()

+
+Registers and initializes the device with the specified device driver address
+table and device major number in the Device Driver Table.

+    );
+
+.. rubric:: DIRECTIVE PARAMETERS:
+
+major
+    This parameter is the device major number.  Use a value of zero to let the
+    system obtain a device major number automatically.
+
+driver_table
+    This parameter is the device driver address table.
+
+registered_major
+    This parameter is the pointer to a device major number variable.  The
+    device major number of the registered device will be stored in this
+    variable, in case of a successful operation.
+
+.. rubric:: DIRECTIVE RETURN VALUES:
+
+RTEMS_SUCCESSFUL
+    The requested operation was successful.
+
+RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS
+    The device major number of the device was `NULL
+    <https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/types/NULL>`_.
+
+RTEMS_INVALID_ADDRESS
+    The device driver address table was empty.
+
+RTEMS_INVALID_NUMBER
+    The device major number of the device was out of range, see
+    :ref:`CONFIGURE_MAXIMUM_DRIVERS`.
+
+RTEMS_TOO_MANY
+    The system was unable to obtain a device major number.
+
+RTEMS_RESOURCE_IN_USE
+    The device major number was already in use.
+
+RTEMS_CALLED_FROM_ISR
+    The directive was called from interrupt context.
+
+Other status codes may be returned by :ref:`InterfaceRtemsIoInitialize`.
+
+.. rubric:: NOTES:
+
+If the device major number equals zero a device major number will be obtained.
+The device major number of the registered driver will be returned.
+
+After a successful registration, the :ref:`InterfaceRtemsIoInitialize`
+directive will be called to initialize the device.

-DESCRIPTION:
-    This directive calls the device driver I/O control routine specified in the
-    Device Driver Table for this major number.  The exact functionality of the
-    driver entry called by this directive is driver dependent.  It should not
-    be assumed that the control entries of two device drivers are compatible.
-    For example, an RS-232 driver I/O control operation may change the baud
-    rate of a serial line, while an I/O control operation for a floppy disk
-    driver may cause a seek operation.
-
-NOTES:
-    This directive may or may not cause the calling task to be preempted.  This
-    is dependent on the device driver being invoked.
