isa_slot_to_name(9r)
NAME
  isa_slot_to_name - Gets the ISA_Option entry in /etc/sysconfigtab

SYNOPSIS
  char *isa_slot_to_name(
	  uint_t slot );

ARGUMENTS
  slot
      Specifies the slot member of the controller structure.

DESCRIPTION
  The isa_slot_to_name interface returns a pointer to the isacfg handle for
  the option card in the specified ISA slot. The isacfg handle is the string
  that the ISA bus code uses to match with the Function_Name attribute of the
  ISA_Option entry in the /etc/sysconfigtab file. Appendages to the isacfg
  handle can communicate various types of information to the driver through
  this interface.

NOTES
  You should call the isa_slot_to_name interface only when you are certain
  that the driver's associated option card is operating on the ISA bus. You
  can check which bus the option card is operating on as follows:

       .
       .
       .

       struct controller *ctlr;

       .
       .
       .

       if ctlr->bus_hd->bus_type == BUS_ISA

       .
       .
       .


  The BUS_ISA constant is defined in /usr/sys/include/io/common/devdriver.h.







RETURN VALUES
  Upon successful completion, isa_slot_to_name returns a pointer to the
  isacfg handle. Otherwise, isa_slot_to_name returns the value -1.
