SYNOPSIS

     #include <geom/geom.h>

     struct g_provider *
     g_provider_by_name(const char *name);


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”).

RESTRICTIONS/CONDITIONS
     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.
