5 NAME
   6        service_provider.conf - service provider configuration file
   7 
   8 SYNOPSIS
   9        service_provider.conf
  10 
  11 
  12 DESCRIPTION
  13        service_provider.conf contains information about the device type that
  14        the service provider supports. This information includes the pathname
  15        of the service provider library, the library version and other library
  16        characteristics that are required by the system administrative command,
  17        datadm(1M).  datadm(1M) puts this information in the DAT static
  18        register file, dat.conf(4).
  19 
  20 
  21        The datadm program enumerates each device entry into a list of
  22        interface adapters, that is, interfaces to external network that are
  23        available to uDAPL consumers. This new list of interface adapters is
  24        appended to other service providers' information in the DAT static
  25        registry, dat.conf. You can do this is you invoke the datadm program
  26        with the -a option and the pathname of the service_provider.conf file.
  27 
  28 
  29        Each entry in the service_provider.conf is a single line of 7 fields.
  30 
  31 
  32        The following shows the order of the fields in a service_provider.conf
  33        entry:
  34 
  35          "driver_name" "API_version" "threadsafe_library | \
  36                nonthreadsafe_library"\
  37          "default_version | nondefault_version" \
  38               "service_provider_library_pathname"\
  39          "service_provider_version" "service_provider_instance_data"\
  40 
  41 
  42 
  43        The fields are defined as follows:
  44 
  45        driver_name
  46 
  47            Specifies a driver name in the format of driver_name=value pair,
  48            for example, driver_name=tavor.
  49 
  50 
  51        API_version
  52 
  53            Specifies the API version of the service provide library: For
  54            example, "u"major.minor is u1.2.
  55 
  56 
  57        threadsafe_library | nonthreadsafe_librar
  58 
  59            Specifies a threadsafe or non-threadsafe library.
  60 
  61 
  62        default_version | nondefault_version
  63 
  64            Specifies a default or non-default version of library. A service
  65            provider can offer several versions of the library. If so, one
  66            version is designated as default with the rest as nondefault.
  67 
  68 
  69        service_provider_library_pathname
  70 
  71            Specifies the pathname of the library image.
  72 
  73 
  74        service_provider_version
  75 
  76            Specifies the version of the service provider. By convention,
  77            specify the company stock symbol as the service provider, followed
  78            by major and minor version numbers, for example, SUNW1.0.
  79 
  80 
  81        service_provider_instance_data
  82 
  83            Specifies the service provider instance data.
