NET_INSTANCE_NOTIFY_REGISTER(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers

NAME


net_instance_notify_register, net_instance_notify_unregister -
add/delete a function to be called for changes to an instance

SYNOPSIS


#include <sys/hook.h>
#include <sys/neti.h>

int net_instance_notify_register(net id_t net_id,
hook_notify_fn_t *callback, void *arg);

int net_instance_notify_unregister(net id_t net_id,
hook_notify_fn_t *callback);

typedef int (* hook_notify_fn_t)(hook_notify_cmd_t command,
void *arg, const char *name1, const char *name2, const char
*name3);


INTERFACE LEVEL


illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI).

PARAMETERS


netid
value from either callback registered with
net_instance_register() or net_zoneidtonetid().


callback
function to call when a change occurs.


arg
pointer to pass into the callback() function when a
change occurs.


DESCRIPTION


The net_instance_notify_register() function registers a function
represented by the pointer callback to be called when there is a new
instance added or removed from the given network instance
(represented by netid.)


The net_instance_notify_unregister() function indicates that there is
no longer any desire to receive notification of changes to the
instance through function calls to the specified callback.


Multiple callback functions may be registered through this interface.
The same set of parameters is passed to each callback function. The
memory referenced through the pointers passed to the callback should
be treated as pointing to read-only memory. Changing this data is
strictly prohibited.


The function that is called must not block any other events.


The arguments passed through to the callback are as follows (the
command is either HN_REGISTER or HN_UNREGISTER):

name1
is the netid represented as a string.


name2
is NULL.


name3
is the name of the instance being added/removed


RETURN VALUES


If these functions succeed, 0 is returned. Otherwise, the following
error is returned:

EEXIST
the given callback function is already registered.


CONTEXT


These functions may be called from user or kernel context.
