dmi_type_find
Synopsis
#include <opendmi/entity.h>
dmi_type_id_t dmi_type_find(dmi_context_t *context, const char *code);Description
The dmi_type_find function returns the type number at which the structures
of the specification whose code is code, e.g. system or
hpe-proliant-info, are found in a context. It is the reverse of
dmi_type_spec, e.g. to select structures by the code of their type given
on the command line.
The number is the one the specification is mapped to in the context, which
relocations of the vendor modules may make different from the number of the
type member of the specification. Only the specifications mapped in the
context are found, so the result depends on the modules enabled in it, see
dmi_type_spec: the code of a module which is not enabled is not found,
and the code of a module enabled for the platform only after the data has
been read by dmi_open.
Every specification mapped to a number is searched, including the ones told apart by signatures. If the specification is mapped to several numbers, the lowest one is returned. Codes are compared exactly, case included.
Return value
Returns the type number, or DMI_TYPE_ID_INVALID if context or code is
nullptr, or if no specification with the code is mapped in the context.
