netinfo(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers netinfo(9F) NAME
netinfo - interface to network data/functionality DESCRIPTION
The net_getnetid() interface is designed to provide the framework for accessing functionality and data within an implementation of a net- work layer protocol (OSI layer 3.) A protocol may or may not provide full coverage for each of the functions that is described within this interface. Where it does not, it must return an appropriate error condition for that call. Documentation pertaining to the network proto- col, as found in man page section 7pP, must list which functions provided by this interface are and are not supported. ATTRIBUTES

net_getifname(9F) Kernel Functions for Drivers net_getifname(9F) NAME
net_getifname - determine the name given to a network interface SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/neti.h> int net_getifname(const net_data_t net, const phy_if_t ifp, char *buffer, size_t buflen); INTERFACE LEVEL
Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI). PARAMETERS
net value returned from a successful call to net_protocol_lookup(9F). ifp value returned from a successful call to net_phylookup(9F) or net_phygetnext(9F). buffer pointer to the buffer in which to write the interface name. buflen size of the buffer in which to store the interface name. DESCRIPTION
The net_getifname() function copies the name of the network interface into the buffer provided. The name will always be null-terminated. If the buffer is too small to fit both the interface name and the null-terminated name, the name in the buffer is truncated to fit. See net_phygetnext(9F) for an example on how to use this function. RETURN VALUES
The net_getifname() function returns: -1 The network protocol does not support this function. 0 Successful completion. 1 Unsuccessful. CONTEXT
The net_getifname() function may be called from user, kernel, or interrupt context. ATTRIBUTES
