The CAPI driver management interface is located in the CAPI device driver. It is structured like a virtual file space, containing directories and variables. Each directory and variable is identified by its path and name. A path contains a directory name followed by a specific variable or subdirectory that is separated by a backslash "\". The CAPI driver management interface is accessible via logical board number 1000, i.e., divactrl mantool -Exclusive -c 1000 -r.
The CAPI driver provides only one management entity and cannot be accessed by multiple applications simultaneously. For this reason, the user should perform access in "exclusive" mode (divactrl mantool -Exclusive -c 1001 -r). In exclusive mode, the divactrl mantool will use file lock to synchronize the access to the management interface in a fully transparent way to the caller.
You can use the Management interface of the CAPI driver to obtain information about CAPI boards, applications, and PLCIs or to change the configuration of the CAPI driver.
