=head1 NAME

B<ibdmsh> IB DATA MODEL - Extentended TCL shell

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<ibdmsh> is a TCL shell extended with interface for the IB data model.
To use this shell you will write TCL code that directly access the IB data model objects and functions.

The following sub sections provide detailed definition for those objects and API.

=head1 IBDM Constants

=head2 Node Types

The following constants are used by the node object type field

=over 4

[ Constant : int  ] $IB_UNKNOWN_NODE_TYPE = IB_UNKNOWN_NODE_TYPE

[ Constant : int  ] $IB_SW_NODE = IB_SW_NODE

[ Constant : int  ] $IB_CA_NODE = IB_CA_NODE

=back 4

=head2 Log Verbosity Flags

The following constants are used as argument bits for the global variable $FabricUtilsVerboseLevel

=over 4

[ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_NONE = 0x0

[ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_ERROR = 0x1

[ Constant : int  ] $FABU_LOG_INFO = 0x2

[ Constant : int  ]  $FABU_LOG_VERBOSE = 0x4

=back 4

=head1 IBDM Globals

Log level: set to FABU_LOG* values

=over 4

[ Global : int ] $FabricUtilsVerboseLevel

=back 4

=head1 IBDM Objects

This section decribes the various object types exposed by IBDM.


IBDM exposes some of its internal objects. The objects identifiers returned by the various function calls are formatted according to the following rules:

Fabric: fabric:<idx>

System: system:<fab idx>:<sys name>

SysPort: sysport:<fab idx>:<sys name>:<port name>

Node: node:<fab idx>:<node name>

Port: port:<fab idx>:<node name>/<port num>

IBDM Objects are standard Swig-Tcl objects. As such they have two flavors for their usage: Variables, Objects.

B<Variables/Pointers:>
   For each object attribute a "get" and "set" methods are provided.
   The format of the methods is: <class>_<attribute>_<get|set>.
   The "set" method is only available for read/write attributes.

   Example:
   set nodes [ibdm_get_nodes]
   set node  [lindex $nodes 0]
   IBNode_numPorts_get $node

B<Objects:>
   Given an object pointer one can convert it to a Tcl "Object"
   using the following command:
   <class> <obj_name> -this <obj pointer>

   Once declared the <obj-name> can be used in conjunction to
   with the standard "configure" and "cget" commands.

   Example (following the previous one):
   IBFabric VaTech -this $fabric
   VaTech cget -NodeByName

   To delete an object symbol (and enable its mapping to another
   pointer) use:
   rename <obj name> ""
   for example:
   rename VaTech ""
