DESCRIPTION
The template validation functions offer a way to validate the configuration data of an service instance against theappropriate template data. The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri()
function returns the full set of errors for the specified instance, and those errors can be printed or explored directly. By default, the validation is performed on the composed data from the running snapshot of an instance. A different snapshot can be explicitly selected by specifying a valid snapshot name rather than NULL for the snapshot argument. Ifflags includes SCF_TMPL_VALIDATE_FLAG_CURRENT, the snapshot
argument is ignored and the current configuration is used. By default, these functions also explore template data defined by the service or instance itself, the service'srestarter, and global template data. See smf_template(5) for
more information about this composition. An instance FMRI is required, and FMRIs that specify other entities (for example, services) are explicitly rejected.The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function validates an instance
FMRI against the template data in the repository. As described above, when the snapshot argument is NULL, thedefault running snapshot is used. If scf_tmpl_errors_t ** is
non-null, the structure is allocated and returned to the
caller for further perusal or printing of the errors.The scf_tmpl_errors_destroy() function destroys and frees
the scf_tmpl_errors_t and all of the scf_tmpl_error_t struc-
tures to which it refers.The scf_tmpl_next_error() function takes a pointer to a
scf_tmpl_errors_t structure previously returned by
scf_tmpl_validate_fmri(). On the first call, it returns a
pointer to the first scf_tmpl_error_t found during

validation. On subsequent calls, the next error is returned. To resume processing from the first error, the caller canuse scf_tmpl_reset_errors().
The contents of an scf_tmpl_error_t are determined by its
type. Types added as additional validation checks are intro-
duced. Based on the error type, a set of fields can be retrieved from the error.SCF_TERR_TYPE_INVALID

property group template name and type property template name and type valueThe SCF_TERR_PROP_TYPE_MISMATCH, SCF_TERR_VALUE_OUT_OF_RANGE
and SCF_TERR_INVALID_VALUE types are only set from calls to
scf_tmpl_value_in_constraint(3SCF).
The scf_tmpl_error_type() function retrieves the error type.
The scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri() function retrieves a string
with the FMRI of the source of the template that wasviolated. This string is freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl() function retrieves strings with
the name and type of the property group template that was violated. If the property group name or type was implicitlywildcarded (see smf_template(5)) in the template, this func-
tion returns a string containing SCF_TMPL_WILDCARD ("*").
These strings are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_pg() function retrieves strings with the
name and type of the property group that was violated. Thesestrings are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl() function retrieves strings
with the name and type of the property template that was violated. If the property type was implicitly wildcarded(see smf_template(5)) in the template, this function returns
a string containing SCF_TMPL_WILDCARD ("*"). These strings
are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_prop() function retrieves strings with
the name and type of the property that was violated. Thesestrings are freed by scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().
The scf_tmpl_error_value() function retrieves a string with
the value containing the error in val. This string are freedby scf_tmpl_errors_destroy().

The scf_tmpl_strerror() function takes an scf_tmpl_error_t
previously returned by scf_tmpl_next_error() and returns in
s. If flags includes SCF_TMPL_STRERROR_HUMAN, s is a human-
readable, localized description of the error. Otherwise, sis a one-line string suitable for logfile output.
RETURN VALUES
The scf_tmpl_validate_fmri() function returns 0 on success-
ful completion with no validation failures. It returns 1 ifthere are validation failures. It returns -1 if there is an
error validating the instance.The scf_tmpl_next_error() function returns a pointer to the
next scf_tmpl_error_t. When none remain, it returns NULL.
The scf_tmpl_error_type(), scf_tmpl_error_source_fmri(),
scf_tmpl_error_pg_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_pg(),
scf_tmpl_error_prop_tmpl(), scf_tmpl_error_prop(), and
scf_tmpl_error_value() functions return 0 on success and -1
on failure.The scf_tmpl_strerror() function returns the number of bytes
that would have been written to s if n had been sufficiently large.ERRORS
