Also, since this is a library function and it could potentially be used in other places down the road, I think it would be better to make it return both sides of the id, as parse_fq_devid() does now. Yes, it will require the caller to free() another string, but I think its better that way.
Seems like with another 10 minutes ore so you could make it so that passing a NULL pointer in for either side of the id would just mean that part gets ignored, so you only get the side you are actually interested in. It wouldn't force callers to break from convention but would allow for things to be a touch cleaner in the calling function.
Both seem like good ideas. I'll see if I can write up something reasonable. -- Kaitlin Rupert IBM Linux Technology Center karupert@us.ibm.com
