meiDriveMapConfigCount

Declaration

	long meiDriveMapConfigCount (MEIDriveMap driveMap, char nodeName, char firmwareVersion, long *configCount);
	Required Header: stdmei.h

Description

meiDriveMapConfigCount scans the drive map file for a drive entry that matches a particular drive. If an entry is found, this function returns the number of drive parameters that need to be preserved for the configuration of the drive.

This function is normally used with the meiDriveMapConfigList function. This function is called first in order to get the size of the drive configuration list. Then the user can use this size to allocate enough memory to hold the complete configuration list before calling meiDriveMapConfigList to fill in the list.

driveMap	a handle to a DriveMap object.
nodeName	the product/manufacturing text string of the node to search for. The nodeName of an SqNode object can be retreived by calling meiSqNodeInfo. See MEISqNodeInfo.
firmwareVersion	The firmware version of the drive to search for. This information can be retrieved from an SqNode object by calling meiSqNodeDriveInfo. See MEISqNodeDriveInfo.
*configCount	pointer to the variable that will be set by this function.
