Note: This function is supported in AIX® 5.1 and earlier only.
Allows the caller to read the counter values accumulated by a token-ring device handler.
The CIO_QUERY tokioctl operation is used by the caller to read the counter values accumulated by a token-ring device handler. The first call to the tokopen entry point initializes the counters to 0.
For the CIO_QUERY operation, the arg parameter points to the query_parms structure. This structure is defined in the /usr/include/sys/comio.h file and contains the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| status | Indicates the status
of the port. Returns one of the following
status values:
|
| buffptr | Specifies the address of a buffer where the returned statistics are to be placed. |
| bufflen | Specifies the length of the buffer. |
| clearall | When this value equals CIO_QUERY_CLEAR, the counters are cleared upon completion of call. The CIO_QUERY_CLEAR label can be found in the /usr/include/sys/comio.h file. |
The counters placed in the supplied buffer by the CIO_QUERY operation are the counters declared in the tok_query_stats_t structure defined in the /usr/include/sys/tokuser.h file.
The CIO_QUERY operation functions with a Token-Ring High Performance Network Adapter that has been correctly configured for use on a qualified network. Consult adapter specifications for more information on configuring the adapter and network qualifications.
The CIO_QUERY operation can be called from the process environment only.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| EFAULT | Indicates that the specified address is not valid. |
| EINVAL | Indicates that a parameter is not valid. |
