smi_node(3)

okay so bestie, you're looking at smi_node(3) from the SMI Management Information Library 💅 and it is literally the YANG node info page. No cap. Let's go. 🦋

🎀 NAME 🎀

the whole squad of functions on this page is: yangGetModule, yangGetFirstModule, yangGetNextModule, yangGetFirstChildNode, yangGetNextChildNode — and they're the YANG node information routines. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

first, grab the header and the exact shapes:

#include <yang.h>

YangNode *yangGetFirstChildNode(YangNode *yangNodePtr);

YangNode *yangGetNextChildNode(YangNode *yangNodePtr);

typedef struct YangNode {
    YangString          value;
    YangString          extra;
    YangDecl          nodekind;
    YangStatus          status;
    YangConfig          config;
    SmiAccess           access;
    YangString          description;
    YangString          reference;
} YangNode;

that's the YangNode struct, and yes those are all the fields — don't skip any. 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

These functions retrieve information on any YANG node definition in the YAND node tree. (Yes, YAND, exactly like that. 🙈)

The yangGetFirstChildNode() and yangGetNextChildNode() functions are your iteration besties: you use them to iteratively retrieve struct YangNodes that represent the immediate child nodes of the node specified by yangNodePtr passed to the yangGetFirstChildNode() or yangGetNextChildNode() call. Slay. 🔥
