VLGETDEVICE(3dm)                                              VLGETDEVICE(3dm)



NAME
     vlGetDevice, vlGetDeviceList - get VL device information

SYNOPSIS
     #include <dmedia/vl.h>

     VLDev vlGetDevice(VLServer svr, VLPath path);
     int vlGetDeviceList(VLServer svr, VLDevList *devlist);

DESCRIPTION
     If vlGetDeviceList is supplied with a pointer to a VLDevList struct, it
     fills in the struct with a list of available devices. The device
     information includes the number of devices available, and an array of
     VLDevice structs, each of which describes a device.  The VLDevice struct
     contains the index of that device, the device name, the number of nodes
     available and a list of VLNodeInfo structs, describing the available
     nodes.

     The device names returned may be mapped to video products as follows:

     vino          VINO Video for Indy.

     mvp           O2 Video.

     ev1           Indy Video, Galileo Video, Indigo2 Video, Indigo2 Video for
                   IMPACT.

     impact        Indigo2 IMPACT Video, Indigo2 IMPACT Compression, OCTANE
                   Digital Video, OCTANE Compression. (Note that when used
                   together, the video and compression boards are logically
                   treated as a single device. For example, paths that span
                   both pieces of hardware may be created.)

     evo           OCTANE Personal Video.

     Sirius        Sirius Video.

     DIVO          DIVO Digital Video Option.

     vlGetDevice returns the id of the device on which the given path was
     created.

RETURN VALUE
     Upon successful completion, vlGetDevice returns a valid device id, and
     vlGetDeviceList returns VLSuccess. Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned
     and vlErrno is set to indicate the error.

     An error number of VLBadValue means you passed a null pointer for
     devlist. An error number of VLBadServer means that the server handle you
     passed in was bad.
