    NAME

    __bitmap_parse - convert an ASCII hex string into a bitmap.

    SYNOPSIS

    "int __bitmap_parse(const char * " "buf" ", unsigned int " "buflen" ", int " "is_user" ", unsigned long * " "maskp" ", int " "nmaskbits" ");"

    ARGUMENTS

    buf

    pointer to buffer containing string.
    buflen
    buffer size in bytes. If string is smaller than this then it must be terminated with a \0.

    is_user

    location of buffer, 0 indicates kernel space
    maskp
    pointer to bitmap array that will contain result. nmaskbits size of bitmap, in bits.

    DESCRIPTION

    Commas group hex digits into chunks. Each chunk defines exactly 32 bits of the resultant bitmask. No chunk may specify a value larger than 32 bits (-EOVERFLOW), and if a chunk specifies a smaller value then leading 0-bits are prepended. -EINVALfR
    is returned for illegal characters and for grouping errors such as (lq1,,5(rq, (lq,44(rq, (lq,(rq and "". Leading and trailing whitespace accepted, but not embedded whitespace.
