+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+functions provide a simple way to interact with OpenFirmware
+.Pq IEEE 1275
+string lists.
+.Pp
+An OpenFirmware string list is simply a buffer containing one or more
+NUL-terminated strings concatenated together.
+For example, a string list containing the strings
+.Dq foo ,
+.Dq bar ,
+and
+.Dq baz
+would be represented in memory as:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+foo\\0bar\\0baz\\0
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following functions are available:
+.Bl -tag -width "xxxxx"
+.It Fn strlist_next "const char *sl" "size_t slsize" "size_t *cursorp"
+This function provides a way to enumerate the strings in a string list.
+To enumerate a string list, initialize
+.Fa cursor
+to 0 and pass it by reference to
+.Fn strlist_next .
+Each call to
+.Fn strlist_next
+returns the current string and advances the cursor to the next string in
+the list.
+If all strings in the list have been enumerated,
+.Fn strlist_next
+will return
+.Dv NULL .
+.It Fn strlist_count "const char *sl" "size_t slsize"
+Returns the number of strings in the string list.
+.It Fn strlist_string "const char *sl" "size_t slsize" "unsigned int index"
+Returns a pointer to the string in the string list at the specified
+index or
+.Dv NULL
+if the index is out of range.
+.It Fn strlist_match "const char *sl" "size_t slsize" "const char *str"
+Returns a weighted match value if the specified string appears in
+the string list.
+The value returned is the number of strings in the string list
+minus the index of the matched string.
+For example, if a string list contains the strings
+.Dq foo ,
+.Dq bar ,
+and
+.Dq baz ,
+a match against
+.Dq foo
+returns 3 and a match against
+.Dq baz
+returns 1.
+If the string does not appear in the string list, 0 is returned.
+.It Fn strlist_pmatch "const char *sl" "size_t slsize" "const char *pattern"
+Like
+.Fn strlist_match ,
+but uses
+.Fn pmatch
+to compare strings, allowing for wildcard characters to be specified in
+.Fa pattern .
+.It Fn strlist_index "const char *sl" "size_t slsize" "const char *str"
+Returns the index of the specified string if it appears in the
+string list, or \-1 if the string does not appear in the string list.
+.It Fn strlist_append "char **slp" "size_t *slsizep" "const char *str"
+Appends a copy of the specified string to the stringlist.
+Begin by initializing
+.Fa sl
+to
+.Dv NULL
+and
+.Fa slsize
+to 0.
+Pass these by reference to
+.Fn strlist_append .
+New memory for the string list will be allocated as needed.
+The resulting string list can be freed with
+.Fn kmem_free .
+Returns
+.Dv true
+if the string was successfully appended to the string list or
+.Dv false
+if memory allocation fails.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following shows an example of string list enumeration using
+.Fn strlist_next :
+.Bd -literal
+void
+print_stringlist(const char *sl, size_t slsize)
+{
+ const char *cp;
+ size_t cursor;
+
+ printf("There are %u strings in the string list:\\n",
+ strlist_count(sl, slsize));
+ for (cursor = 0;
+ (cp = strlist_next(sl, slsize, &cursor) != NULL; ) {
+ printf("\\t%s\\n", cp);
+ }
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following example shows a simple way to use
+.Fn strlist_match :
+.Bd -literal
+bool
+is_compatible(int phandle, const char *compat_str)
+{
+ char buf[128];
+ int proplen;
+
+ proplen = OF_getprop(phandle, "compatible", buf, sizeof(buf));
+ return strlist_match(buf, proplen, compat_str) != 0;
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following example shows a use of
+.Fn strlist_pmatch :
+.Bd -literal
+bool
+is_pc_printer_port(const char *pnp_id_list, size_t list_size)
+{
+ return strlist_pmatch(pnp_id_list, list_size, "PNP04??") != 0;
+}
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following example converts an array of strings to a string list using
+.Fn strlist_append :
+.Bd -literal
+char *
+string_array_to_string_list(const char **array, int count,
+ size_t *slsizep)
+{
+ char *sl;
+ size_t slsize;
+ int i;
+
+ for (i = 0, sl = NULL, slsize = 0; i < count; i++) {
+ if (!strlist_append(&sl, &slsize, array[i])) {
+ kmem_free(sl, slsize);
+ return NULL;
+ }
+ }
+
+ *slsizep = slsize;
+ return sl;
+}
