MODLSTRMOD(9S) Data Structures for Drivers MODLSTRMOD(9S)

NAME

modlstrmod - linkage structure for loadable STREAMS modules

SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/modctl.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

illumos DDI specific (illumos DDI)

DESCRIPTION

The modlstrmod structure is used by STREAMS modules to export module
specific information to the kernel.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

struct mod_ops *strmod_modops;
char *strmod_linkinfo;
struct fmodsw *strmod_fmodsw;


strmod_modops
Must always be initialized to the address of
mod_strmodops. This identifies the module as a
loadable STREAMS module.


strmod_linkinfo
Can be any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN, and is
used to describe the module. This string is
usually the name of the module, but can contain
other information (such as a version number).


strmod_fmodsw
Is a pointer to a template of a class entry
within the module that is copied to the kernel's
class table when the module is loaded.
