ddi_get8(9F)		 Kernel Functions for Drivers		  ddi_get8(9F)

NAME
       ddi_get8,   ddi_get16,	ddi_get32,   ddi_get64,	  ddi_getb,  ddi_getw,
       ddi_getl, ddi_getll - read data from the mapped memory address,	device
       register or allocated DMA memory address

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/ddi.h>
       #include <sys/sunddi.h>

       uint8_t ddi_get8(ddi_acc_handle_t handle, uint8_t *dev_addr);

       uint16_t ddi_get16(ddi_acc_handle_t handle, uint16_t *dev_addr);

       uint32_t ddi_get32(ddi_acc_handle_t handle, uint32_t *dev_addr);

       uint64_t ddi_get64(ddi_acc_handle_t handle, uint64_t *dev_addr);

INTERFACE LEVEL
       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI).

PARAMETERS
       handle	       The  data access handle returned from setup calls, such
		       as ddi_regs_map_setup(9F).

       dev_addr	       Base device address.

DESCRIPTION
       The ddi_get8(), ddi_get16(),  ddi_get32(),  and	ddi_get64()  functions
       read  8	bits, 16 bits, 32 bits and 64 bits of data, respectively, from
       the device address, dev_addr.

       Each individual datum will automatically be translated  to  maintain  a
       consistent  view	 between  the host and the device based on the encoded
       information in the data access handle.	The  translation  may  involve
       byte-swapping if the host and the device have incompatible endian char‐
       acteristics.

       For certain bus types, you can call these DDI functions from  a	 high-
       interrupt  context.   These types include ISA and SBus buses.  See sys‐
       bus(4), isa(4), and sbus(4) for details. For  the  PCI  bus,  you  can,
       under  certain  conditions, call these DDI functions from a high-inter‐
       rupt context. See pci(4).

RETURN VALUES
       These functions return the value read from the mapped address.

CONTEXT
       These functions can be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context.

SEE ALSO
       ddi_put8(9F),	  ddi_regs_map_free(9F),       ddi_regs_map_setup(9F),
       ddi_rep_get8(9F), ddi_rep_put8(9F)

NOTES
       The  functions  described  in this manual page previously used symbolic
       names which specified their data access size; the function  names  have
       been  changed  so  they	now  specify a fixed-width data size.  See the
       following table for the new name equivalents:

       ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
       │Previous Name	     New Name				      │

       │ddi_getw	     ddi_get16				      │
       │ddi_getl	     ddi_get32				      │
       │ddi_getll	     ddi_get64				      │
