     struct g_provider *

DESCRIPTION
     The g_provider_by_name() function searches for a provider called name and returns the struc‐
     ture g_provider bound to it.  Argument name should be a name, not a full path (i.e., “da0”,
     instead of “/dev/da0”).

     The topology lock has to be held.


RETURN VALUES
     The g_provider_by_name() function returns a pointer to the provider called name or NULL if
     there is no such provider.
