DEVICE_GETINFOBYLDEV_ Procedure
(Superseded on G-series Releases)
match-type input
INT:value
if present and if not -1, specifies a device type that is to be used as a search 
criterion. Supplying 
match-type causes the procedure to return information for 
the next device that has a device type of 
match-type and a logical device 
number greater than 
ldevnum. 
options.<14> and options.<15> must both be equal to 1 in order to use this 
parameter.
match-type can also be used in combination with match-subtype. See 
“Considerations,” later in this subsection.
match-subtype input
INT:value
if present and if not -1, specifies a device subtype that is to be used as a search 
criterion. Supplying 
match-subtype causes the procedure to return information 
for the next device that has a device subtype of 
match-subtype and a logical 
device number greater than 
ldevnum.
options.<13> and options.<15> must both be equal to 1 in order to use this 
parameter.
match-subtype can also be used in combination with match-type. See 
“Considerations,” later in this subsection.
devname:maxlen output: input
STRING .EXT:ref:*, INT:value
if supplied and if 
maxlen is not 0, returns a local name (that is, a name that does 
not include a node name) designating the device. The returned name has no 
qualifiers.
If the device does not have a name, a 
devname-len of 0 is returned.  A devname 
in the form $
logical-device-number is never returned.
maxlen specifies the length in bytes of the string variable devname.
devname-len output
INT .EXT:ref:1
returns the actual length in bytes of the name returned in 
devname. If the device 
does not have a name, a 
devname-len of 0 is returned.
This parameter must be present if 
devname is present.
