#include <libstmf.h>
int stmfGetProviderDataProt(char *providerName, nvlist_t **nvl,
int providerType, uint64_t *token);
PARAMETERS
providerName
The name of the provider for which data is being
retrieved.
nvl
A pointer to a pointer to an nvlist_t. On success, this
will contain the nvlist retrieved. The caller is
responsible for freeing the returned nvlist by calling
nvlist_free(3NVPAIR).
providerType
The value for this parameter must be either
STMF_LU_PROVIDER_TYPE or STMF_PORT_PROVIDER_TYPE.
token
A pointer to a uint64_t allocated by the caller. On
success, this will contain a token for the returned
data that can be used in a call to stmfSetProviderDat‐
aProt(3STMF) to ensure that the data returned in this
call is not stale. If this value is NULL, the token
will be ignored.
DESCRIPTION

ified provider.
RETURN VALUES
The following values are returned:
STMF_ERROR_NOMEM
